SKF Explorer self-aligning roller bearings
The original SKF Explorer had an impressive bearing life. Now we’ve doubled it!
The upgraded range of SKF Explorer self-aligning roller bearings.
SKF spherical roller bearings, CARB toroidal bearings and most SKF spherical roller thrust bearings have been upgraded to a new level of performance. Independent of the bearing position in the gearbox, this new generation of SKF Explorer performance class bearings offers substantial advantages compared to conventional solutions. They provide a more robust solution in contaminated and/or poor lubricating conditions, almost doubling the service life of the bearing. These upgraded SKF Explorer self-aligning roller bearings also open up the possibility to transmit up to 20% higher torque compared to other solutions. Alternatively downsizing is made possible to improve efficiency and reduce the overall environmental impact as well as the cost.
Increased hardness while maintaining or improving toughness – resulting in enhanced wear and contamination resistance
High load carrying capacity and even further improved SKF rating life
Reduced frictional heat – cooler running
