SKF roller bearing units offer the designer relative freedom in respect of bearing arrangement design. Some 20 design variants are available. They make for economic bearing arrangements and are primarily intended for applications where the load carrying capacity of Y-bearing units is inadequate or where conditions are particularly difficult. Their advantages include the following:– They are ready-to-mount, i.e. they have the correct clearance, are greased and sealed.
– They can be used on commercial drawn shafts.
– They are easy to mount on the shaft and are firmly locked in position.
– They are protected against contamination in operation and during installation.
– They are prepared for online connection to condition monitoring equipment.
– They allow logistics costs to be reduced as only one part has to be ordered, stored and managed.
