Customized Thin Section Bearings

Customized thin section bearings are designed to provide a comprehensive assortment of bearings for a wide range of applications. They are available in three different main bearing categories: Reali-Slim TT turntable bearings BB series metric ball bearings KT series tapered roller bearings

Ultra-Slim Thin Section Bearings

Ultra-Slim thin section bearings have the thinnest cross sections in the entire SKF bearing portfolio and are a very compact solution for applications where space is limited. They are available in three different bearing types: radial contact ball bearings  angular contact ball bearings four-point contact ball bearings Kaydon standard Ultra-Slim thin section bearings are made […]

Reali-Slim Thin Section Bearings

Reali-Slim thin section bearings are a lightweight and compact solution for applications where space is limited. They are available in three different bearing types: radial contact ball bearings  angular contact ball bearings four-point contact ball bearings The Kaydon standard assortment of Reali-Slim thin section bearings includes open and sealed bearings, as well as many other […]

Rod Ends

Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank that forms a housing for a spherical plain bearing. They are used primarily on the ends of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons to join the cylinder to an associated component.  SKF supplies a wide assortment of standard rod ends with different thread and shank designs at […]

Thrust Spherical Plain Bearings

Thrust spherical plain bearings have a convex spherical surface on the shaft washer and a corresponding concave spherical surface in the housing washer. These bearings are intended to accommodate axial loads primarily, but can also accommodate combined (radial and axial) loads. The radial load component of a combined load should not exceed 50% of the […]

Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearings

Angular contact spherical plain bearings are spherical in shape and inclined at an angle to the bearing axis (fig. 1). This design makes them well suited for accommodating combined (radial and axial) loads. Single angular contact spherical plain bearings can only accommodate axial loads acting in one direction and can be separated, enabling the rings to […]

Radial Spherical Plain Bearings

Radial spherical plain bearings have an inner ring with a sphered convex outside diameter and an outer ring with a correspondingly sphered but concave inside surface. Their design makes them particularly suitable for bearing arrangements where alignment movements between shaft and housing have to be accommodated, or where oscillating or recurrent tilting or slewing movements […]

Slewing Bearings

Slewing bearings comprise an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually incorporates a gear. Together with attachment holes in both rings, they enable an optimized power transmission with a simple and quick connection between adjacent machine components. The bearing raceways, in conjunction with the rolling elements and cages or spacers, are designed […]

Gauges

Conventional measuring methods and instruments are not always suitable for checking tapered seats or measuring the inside or outside envelope diameter of the roller set of a cylindrical roller bearing in precision applications. Therefore, SKF has developed an assortment of gauges specially designed to take the accurate measurements necessary when mounting cylindrical roller bearings with […]

Precision Lock Nuts

Industrial lock nuts with lock washers are not considered to be suitable for super-precision bearing applications because of the relatively wide manufacturing tolerances of the thread and abutment surfaces. As a result, SKF has developed a full line of precision lock nuts that are manufactured within very tight tolerances. These simple to mount devices, which […]
