SKF tapered roller bearings for general use, including SKF bearings to Q specifications, have been optimized with regard to
In addition, highly accurate manufacturing processes make adjustment of the bearings against each other more reliable, which dramatically improves performance especially during the very first hours of operation.
Certain sizes of SKF single row tapered roller bearings are also available with a flange on the outer ring. Bearings having this external flange can be axially located in the housing to provide a simplified, more compact bearing arrangement. The housing bore is simpler to produce, as no shoulders are required.
