Split Sphere SAF bearings are designed for easy installation and removal, in a standard 500 series SAF dimensional housing.
Industry leading housing features including solid cast feet to increase strength, offset spherical bearing position, offset dowels with matched numbers on cap and base to simplify correct assembly, cast-in dimples to locate drill holes for lube fittings, bents, sensors and mounting modifications, housing base threaded to accept Grade 5 cap bolts fro added strength and pry slots between the cap and base to allow easy separation. Utilizes "E" design spherical roller bearing insert for higher load carrying capacity. Matches standard SAF mounting dimensions.
SKF split spherical roller bearings are produced to order. The design is tailored to the particular application and, for cost reasons, is generally based on available bearings of standard design. Before finalizing a bearing arrangement design incorporating a split spherical roller bearing it is advisable to consult the SKF application engineering service.
