4. Important product updates

Tapered roller bearings

Tapered roller bearings with an outside diameter up to 600 mm have
been redesigned. These new bearings have an increased dynamic
load rating, and most of the range is available as SKF Explorer bear-
ings. A consolidated catalogue assortment and a simpliied designa-
tion system provide a clear view of what is available.

Angular contact ball bearings with 25° contact angle
These new bearings have a raceway geometry optimized for high
speeds and reduced sensitivity to axial loading and misalignment.
They can increase robustness when used as the backup bearing in
sets that are predominantly loaded in one direction.

Upgraded INSOCOAT bearings
INSOCOAT bearings feature electrical insulation on either the inner
or outer ring. The upgraded coating provides higher Ohmic resist-
ance, including high Ohmic resistance even in a humid environment,
and higher breakdown voltage.

Spherical roller bearings for wind energy
applications

Spherical roller bearings for wind energy applications are designed
explicitly for wind turbine main shafts. They have an optimized
in tern al geometry with large diameter rollers and increased contact
angle for increased axial load carrying capacity.
