24000 series bearings

Dealing with very heavy radial and axial loads in applications prone to misalignment or shaft deflections? Meet the challenge with spherical roller bearings, whose high load carrying capacity and ability to accommodate misalignment help you obtain low maintenance costs and long bearing service life. our range is the widest in the industry today – both open and sealed. Our assortment includes spherical roller bearings designed for many applications, including wind turbine main shafts, continuous casters, vibratory applications and high-speed applications, as well as bearings with Solid Oil, split bearings, ConCentra roller bearing units, and, for the harshest operating environments, our three-barrier solution.

Mounting

During handling, the rings and roller complement of spherical roller bearings may be axially displaced from their normal position. This is especially likely where the bearings are mounted with the shaft or housing in the vertical position:

The roller complement, together with the inner or outer ring, will move downward and result in no more clearance.

When the bearing rings expand or contract as a result of an interference fit, preload is likely to result.

Therefore, wherever possible:

Mount spherical roller bearings with the shaft or housing in the horizontal position.

Rotate the inner or outer ring to align the rollers during mounting.

Where this is not feasible, use a bearing handling tool or other device to keep the bearing components arranged centrally.

The assortment of spherical roller bearings is the widest available on the market. The standard assortment includes:

CC, CA and E design bearings

sealed bearings

bearings for vibratory applications

bearings for wind energy applications

All spherical roller bearings are SKF Explorer bearings and almost all bearings are available with the option of a tapered bore. Depending on the bearing series, the tapered bore has:

a taper 1:12 (designation suffix K)

a taper 1:30 (designation suffix K30)
