SKF Roller Bearings

SKF roller bearings are precision-engineered components that support rotating shafts and carry loads in industrial machinery. Instead of balls, they use rolling rollers (cylindrical, tapered, spherical, or needle-shaped), which spread the load over a larger contact area and give higher load capacity than ball bearings.

Cylindrical roller bearings
Spherical roller bearings

SKF spherical roller bearings are versatile, robust bearings designed to handle high radial and moderate axial loads while accommodating shaft misalignment.
Taper roller bearings

Accommodating of medium to heavy combined radial and axial loads, SKF taper roller bearings are suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.
Needle roller bearings

SKF needle roller bearings are known for their high load carrying capacity and compact design, making them suitable for a variety of applications where space is limited.
Toroidal roller bearings

SKF CARB toroidal roller bearings are a revolutionary type of bearing designed to accommodate both radial loads and axial displacement without inducing stress.
