Angular contact ball bearings now available from SKF
SKF has developed a sealed, single row angular contact ball bearing for applications that require long service life and reduced life cycle cost.
The new bearing features two non-contact, steel-reinforced NBR seals, as well as a high performance, long lasting polyurea grease as standard.
The non-contact seal lip design forms a narrow gap between the seal lip and its counterface on the bearing inner ring to exclude contaminants and retain grease, even in applications with vertical shafts.
Because they are non-contacting, the seals do not generate frictional heat, which enables the bearings to operate at the same high speeds as open bearings. Cooler operating temperatures also extend the service life of the lubricant.
Target applications include pumps, compressors, gearboxes, elevators and electric motors.
