E design
Small and medium sizes made to the E design with optimised
internal geometry and even higher load carrying capacity.

Hardened cages
Unique feature of SKF bearings. Gives extraordinary wear resistance and fatigue strength.

Tolerances and clearance

Boundary tolerances and radial internal clearance adapted to
also meet the demands of future vibrating machinery.

Guide ring
Guides both cages and rollers. This feature makes operation
more reliable and it contributes to minimise friction.

You can rely on SKF

SKF is the leading bearing manufacturer with a market share of about
20 % (China and former COMECON excluded). This market share is
almost double the size of the second largest bearing manufacturer.
SKF has a worldwide network of some 200 manufacturing and sales
companies together with some 7 000 authorised distributors.
SKFs strong focus on bearings is a guarantee for keeping the same
high quality standards globally, independent of place of manufacture.
SKFs policy is to provide a full range of rolling bearings. This way
the customer can be always offered the best bearing solution.
SKF invented the self-aligning ball bearing in 1907 and the spherical
roller bearing in 1919. By purposeful development work SKF has
kept its leading position since then.
SKF manufactures some 40 % of all spherical roller bearings sold in
the Western World.
SKF is supplier to the world leaders in all industrial segments.
The new range of spherical roller bearings for vibrating applications is
evidence of SKFs continuing ambition to maintain its leading position.
