Application specific housings
The SKF design and manufacturing capabili-
ties for bearing housings are not limited to the
products described in this catalogue. SKF has
supplied bearing and housing solutions for
various applications including:

• main shaft support for wind turbines
• rudder or drive shaft support for ships
• rail bound vehicles
• moveable bridges
• housings for split bearings
• housings for converters in steel making
Customized housings
SKF can design custom housings using state-
of-the-art finite element analysis. Prior to
prototyping, SKF engineers can add their
bearing, and seal expertise and confirm the
integrity of the system on a virtual test rig.
SKF housing manufacturing facilities are able
to produce bearing housings for nearly all SKF
rolling bearings.
Y-bearing units
Y-bearing units consist of a housing, a deep
groove ball bearing, seals or shields and grease.
These ready to mount units are available in
a variety of shapes and sizes. For additional
information about these products, visit
