Recognized worldwide for their superior quality and long service life, SKF ball, roller and plain bearings are the perfect choice for a wide range of applications.

In response to the ever-demanding performance requirements of modern machinery, SKF developed the SKF Explorer performance class of rolling bearings. SKF Explorer bearings reduce environmental impact by enabling downsizing and reducing both lubricant and energy consumption. Just as importantly, SKF Explorer bearings can reduce the need for maintenance and contribute to increased productivity.

SKF produces a wide range of ball and roller bearing units and housings to meet the needs of virtually any application. Bearing units, which consist of SKF bearings, housings, seals and lubricant, are pre-greased and pre-assembled for quick and easy installation.

SKF Y-bearings and Y-bearing units are ready-to-mount and ready- to-use solutions equipped with a superior sealing system. This system provides reliable protection against moisture and contaminants, plus exceptional lubricant retention. The SKF Y-bearing and Y-bearing unit assortment is extensive. It includes a wide range of housing designs and materials, and a variety of Y-bearings with locking mechanisms and seals suited to different requirements. All have design features that, when combined according to application need, provide superior service life even in challenging environments.

With the introduction of sealed spherical roller bearings, service life in contaminated environments can be significantly increased. Pre-lubricated with a specially formulated grease and sealed with highly effective contact seals, these bearings can in many applications be considered lubricated for the life of the bearing. By eliminating or extending relubrication intervals, sealed SKF spherical roller bearings can significantly reduce the costs to purchase, apply and dispose of grease.

Vibrating screen equipment in mineral processing has a tough job. The eccentric motion with high vibration coupled with heavy loads puts a strain on components, and especially bearings that are exposed to the elements and abrasive dust. It’s an environment where equipment failure is often accepted as a cost of doing business.

However, specially designed, highly robust solutions can help equipment live with these demands. And help you increase service life and uptime while reducing the costs and safety risks of extra maintenance and repairs.

Explore SKF bearings, seals and lubrication systems for vibrating screens. As well as the SKF Copperhead fault detection system that helps you detect issues and plan maintenance even before they become an issue.

Four-row cylindrical roller bearings are used almost exclusively for the roll necks of rolling mill stands, calenders and roller presses. Because they are normally mounted with an interference fit on the roll neck, four-row cylindrical roller bearings are well suited for rolling mill applications where the rolling speed is high.

Because four-row cylindrical roller bearings can accommodate only radial loads, they are mounted together with deep groove or angular contact ball bearings, or with tapered roller bearings (either radial or thrust design) which accommodate the axial loads.
