The lifespan of SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings is reducing total operational costs for engineering companies across industry. Tests conducted in SKF laboratories have shown that upgraded SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings can last up to twice as long as previous bearings under contaminated or poor lubrication conditions. SKF Explorer bearings provide higher dynamic load carrying capacity when compared to previous designs, enabling design engineers to ‘downsize’ their applications.
Re-lubrication-free
With integral seals, sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings are protected against both particle and moisture contamination, enabling them to be re-lubrication-free in most applications. As the bearings do not require external seals in all but the most aggressive environments, installation is simplified, further reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
