Getting started
This catalogue contains detailed information
about all standard SKF metric and inch
bearing housings, some application specific
housings and SKF roller bearing units. Roller
bearing units consist of a housing, a spherical
roller bearing, seals and lubricant. These
ready-to-mount units can provide a number
of advantages when compared to plummer
(pillow) block or flanged housings. They are
easy and safe to mount and do not require
any additional parts.
The first section, which contains general
technical information, is designed to help the
reader select the best, most effective products
for a particular application. In this section,
shaft-bearing combinations, sealing solutions
and lubrication methods are discussed in detail.
Installation and maintenance information is
also included. More practical information
