Slewing bearings
Slewing bearings are ball or cylindrical roller
bearings that can accommodate axial, radial
and moment loads acting either singly or in
combination and in any direction. They are not
mounted on a shaft or in a housing; the rings,
which are simply bolted on the seating surface
are available in one of three executions
without gears
with an internal gear
with an external gear.
Slewing bearings can perform both oscillating
(slewing) movements as well as rotating movements.
The outside diameter range of SKF slewing
bearings with a one-piece ring is from 400 to
7 200 mm. Even larger bearings are produced
with outside diameters up to 14 000 mm,
but these have segmented rings. Some of the
smaller sizes, up to approximately 2 000 mm
outside diameter are standard production.
Further information will be supplied on
request.

Magnetic bearings
Magnetic bearings are used in a variety of
applications e.g. turbomolecular pumps, compressors, turbo generators, semiconductor
equipment and high speed machine tools. They
levitate the shaft by inducing a controlled magnetic field. This means that the shaft is rotating
without contact. The system senses the shaft
position and adjusts the force in real time keeping the shaft at the required position.
Some of the benefits of magnetic bearings
are
no contamination from wear
lubrication-free
operate in severe environments e.g. extreme
high and low temperatures, ultra-high vacuum
or submerged applications
minimal vibration transferred to housing
precision control and elimination of shaft
runout caused by unbalance
built-in condition monitoring of rotor dynamics of vibration and forces.
SKF offers a full range of magnetic bearing
products like
magnetic bearings
digital controllers
DC brushless motors
hyperspin spindles
engineered shaft solutions.

Bearing units
Y-bearing units
Standard SKF ball bearing units are referred to
as Y-bearing units. Y-bearing units are readyto-mount units which can accommodate initial
misalignment. The unit consists of a single row
deep groove ball bearing with convex sphered
outside diameter (Y-bearing) and a Y-bearing
housing, which has a correspondingly sphered
but concave bore. Bearings and housings can
be ordered separately. SKFY-bearing units are
available as
Y-bearing plummer (pillow) block units
Y-bearing flanged units
Y-bearing take-up units.
A variety of designs is available with different
housing materials like
composite material
grey cast iron
sheet steel
and there is a choice of locking method on the
shaft like
grub screw locking
eccentric collar locking
adapter sleeve locking.
For detailed information about SKFY-bearing
units, please refer to the SKF catalogue
Y-bearings and Y-bearing units or the
SKF Interactive Engineering Catalogue.

Two-bearing units
SKF two-bearing units were originally designed
for use on fan shafts with an overhung impeller.
However, they are being used in other applications, e.g. centrifugal pumps, circular saws and
grinding spindles. Two-bearing units offer a
more compact design, improved running accuracy, quiet operation, and easy installation.
Several series with different bearing arrangements are available to meet different application
requirements.
More information can be found in the
SKF Interactive Engineering Catalogue.

Auto-balancing
Imbalance is the standard cause of vibration in
rotating equipment. It often varies with time
and is difficult to correct. The DynaSpin autobalancer is a unique solution that continually
counteracts imbalance in rotating machinery.
The freely moving balls, with the dynamic power
of natural forces, automatically shift their position creating a balance that remains constant,
regardless of the unbalance variations. The
action dampens the vibration of the machine
significantly.
For more information about the DynaSpin
auto-balancer, please visit www.dynaspin.skf.com.

Supergrip bolts
SKF Supergrip bolts, based on the SKF oil injection principle, are compared with traditional
bolt systems easier to install and remove and
therefore offer important technical as well as
economic benefits. They are typically used in
applications where rotating flanged joints are
subjected to heavy torque loads and downtime
is particularly expensive, e.g. a ships propeller
shafts, steering equipment, steam turbines or
rolling mills.
SKF Supergrip bolts are available for hole
diameters starting from 40 mm.
For more information, please ask for publica
tion The SKF Supergrip Bolt for Rotating
Flanges or visit www.couplings.skf.com.

Bushings
Solid bushings for fully concentric locking of fric
tion hub joints virtually eliminate the common
problem with eccentricity in shaft joints. Robust
mechanical locating devices for high torque
transmission in slewing applications or belt and
chain drives. The SHT design contains a slot for
mounting in hubs. The SHR design is closed for
welding.
For further information, please visit
www.skftransmission.com.
Rolling elements
SKF also supplies loose rolling elements that
include balls, as well as cylindrical and needle
rollers. Using loose rolling elements it is possible to produce economic full complement
bearing arrangements for very heavy loads and
low speeds or oscillatory movement, provided
the other associated components can take the
form of raceways having the same hardness and
quality as bearing rings.
The rolling elements are made of carbon
chromium bearing steel or silicone nitride. Additional information will be supplied on request.
