SKF Spherical roller bearings (SRB) are the perfect choice to handle heavy loads, misalignment, and shaft deflections. They offer reliable rotation in all kinds of applications and industries in a wide range of environments – hot or cold – wet or dry.
Better energy efficiency from lower-friction bearings means less CO2 in the use phase. Choosing SKF also means lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions. SKF aims to decarbonize all our operations by 2030, and to have net zero emissions throughout the supply chain by 2050. Many SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings can be remanufactured, potentially reducing their carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to buying new bearings.
Almost all SKF spherical roller bearings are available with either a cylindrical or tapered bore.
The assortment of standard bearings includes:
For applications where the bearings are subjected to unique operating conditions, customisation is available to meet the needs of that each application.
For example, bearings for:
When failure isn’t an option, reliability is everything. Using SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings means more uptime, lower operating and maintenance costs, and more profit for your business.
Tests carried out on SKF's explorer SRB proves their fatigue life surpasses all other spherical roller bearings available, helping you extend machinery uptime. This is possible because the unique, patented SKF Xbite-II steel rings SKF uses within the range use a heat treatment process that provides up to 3x better wear and contamination resistance than standard bainite steel.
It takes longer for minor faults to turn into big problems with SKF Xbite-II heat treatment as this gives the bearing rings excellent crack resistance. So you can replace your bearings at your next planned stop instead of having to shut down the machines you need up and running.
SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings run with lower friction than comparable bearings from other suppliers. Their rollers are self-guided by a design principle that results in excellent friction control. Enabling your machinery to run more efficiently, and/or relubricate is minimised.
Energy efficiency is improved from lower-friction bearings, so less CO2 in the use phase. Choosing SKF also means lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions in your own operations, since SKF has already come a long way in reducing their carbon emissions in production and processes. Many SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings can be remanufactured, potentially reducing their carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to buying new bearings. Using our logistical expertise and proximity when buying SKF bearing can help you to further reduce your carbon footprint.
