This ball bearing from SKF is a reliable choice for optimal performance under severe operating conditions. Its cage is made from machined brass, which is lightweight and provides more space within the bearing for lubrication. This gives the unit increased wear resistance, making for a longer working life. It also improves the bearing's ability to handle shock loads and vibration, ensuring continuous and smooth rotational motion. This component is quiet during operation, making it suited for use in wind turbine generators and other demanding industrial applications.
• Open end, cylindrical bore type • Inside diameter of 180 mm • Outside diameter of 280 mm • Race width of 46 mm • Limiting speed of 4,000 r/min
Application Information
• Wind power generation • Automotive industry • Medical and pharmaceutical industries
How does this bearing's cage design improve its performance?
The cage pocket design of this bearing reduces contact stresses between the cage and rolling elements to optimise ball-to-cage contact and improve ball guidance. Plus, its no-edge contact promotes the formation of a hydrodynamic film, which significantly reduces vibration.
