Bearings By design, SKF spherical roller bearings can accommodate very heavy radial and heavy axial loads in applications prone to misalignment or shaft deflection. SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings provide a significant improvement in key operational parameters. These bearings are so advanced that they can last several times longer than their rivals under typical heavy-duty conditions. Learn more.
Seals Industrial environments such as steel and paper mills can quickly compromise large diameter seals (LDS), resulting in expensive downtime to disassemble machinery and replace the seals. SKF offers a complete range of LDS products designed to withstand the most hostile environments, whether your application requires a metal clad seal or an easily installed, all rubber design.

Maintenance/Condition Monitoring Industrial operations everywhere acknowledge that condition monitoring is critical to the success of their maintenance strategy. With the right machine data – and the tools to interpret this data quickly, and with confidence – they can optimize maintenance for both productivity and long-term protection of their assets. As a pioneer in the condition monitoring industry, SKF has led the way with innovations that have made it easier to collect, analyze, use and share machine condition data. Learn more.
Services Operations using large bore bearing housings know replacing them is an expensive proposition, both in new bearing housing cost and lost productivity. Why replace a bearing housing unless you really have to? Today, SKF routinely takes bearing housings slated for scrapping and expertly remanufactures them to like-new condition for extended service.
