Thrust ball bearings SKF thrust ball bearings are manufactured as single direction (fig. 1) or double direction (fig. 2) thrust ball bearings. They are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load. Bearing features Separable and interchangeable The separable components of SKF thrust ball bearings are interchangeable (fig. 3, fig. 4). This
Self-aligning ball bearings Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. They are available open or sealed. The bearings are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing (fig. 1), which can be caused, for
Angular contact ball bearings Angular contact ball bearings have inner and outer ring raceways that are displaced relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that these bearings are designed to accommodate combined loads, i.e. simultaneously acting radial and axial loads. The axial load carrying capacity of angular contact ball
Insert bearings (Y-bearings) Insert bearings (SKF Y-bearings) are based on sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a convex outer ring and in most cases an extended inner ring with a specific locking device, enabling quick and easy mounting onto the shaft. Industry offers to meet your specific challenges
Bearing selection examples This section contains several worked examples that show the bearing selection process applied to various machines and application cases. Each example is presented as a number of steps that generally follows the sequence in the bearing selection process. However, interdependencies in any particular application case may require looping back and forth between
General bearing knowledge This section provides general information that is valid for rolling bearings. Section Bearing basics contains information that all readers should know. When you have read that section you will: know what rolling bearings are know about their components have a basic understanding about materials used for rolling bearings be familiar with the
Bearing selection process When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance – and at the lowest possible cost. Robustness also is very important because the conditions in which your equipment is assembled, operated and maintained may not be precisely known and may, in
Principles of rolling bearing selection When selecting bearings for any purpose, ultimately you want to be certain of achieving the required level of equipment performance, and robustness, at the lowest possible cost. There are key factors you must consider when putting together the bearing specifications for an application. To help you evaluate these key factors,
