| | | cylindrical roller bearings manufacturer with up to three times longer service life than the previous SKF standard, which is superior to all other conventional cylindrical roller industrial bearings. The performance improvements of SKF cylindrical roller bearings over the past 50 years have permitted downsizing, whilst still maintaining the required performance diagram fT). | | | Logarithmic contact profile ^^^h This important feature of SKF cylindrical roller bearings - for the past twenty-odd years - has been further refined for the rollers used in SKF Explorer bearings. The bearings are thus even less sensitive to small misalignment and can carry heavy loads. | | |
| | | |
| | | SKF Explorer bearings feature an extremely clean | | |
| | | |
| | | and homogenous steel with a minimum number of inclusions. This improved steel is so much cleaner than the highest grades covered by present classifications. The reduction in the number of inclusions increases the fatigue strength in the rolling contacts and enables the bearings to operate much longer. | | |

This means that the rings can be produced with an increased roundness and the deviation from true form of the rollers has also been further reduced. The results of the tighter tolerances may be invisible but the bearings run markedly quieter and with less vibration. | | |

The design of the cages used in SKF Explorer bearings contributes to good lubrication of all contact surfaces, even under occasional interruptions in lubricant supply. | | |
