SKF tapered roller bearings are designed to meet and exceed the quality and performance requirements of applications where there are heavy combined loads and tilting moments. The logarithmic profile of the rollers provides superior load distribution. The design of the flange/roller-end contact area reduces edge loading and promotes the formation of a lubricant film even under arduous operating conditions.
The superior roller end/flange contact virtually eliminates temperature peaks during start-up. Because friction, heat and wear during initial start-up is minimized, special running-in procedures are not necessary
Thanks to their specific geometry and internal load distribution, all tapered roller bearings can handle combined axial and radial loads. The contact angle of their raceways converges on a common point on the bearing axis, and that angle can be selected to deliver optimum axial and radial load capabilities for a given application
Our expertise in bearing design, tribology, metallurgy, lubrication and manufacturing have come together to create SKF Explorer class bearings. A new standard of excellence in design, performance and precision manufacturing – one that is still unmatched in the marketplace. SKF Explorer bearings are a result of extremely high steel quality. Optimized design. Manufacturing process improvements. Tighter tolerances and less spread
