The unique re-lubrication free solutions for fans are sealed SKF ConCentra units (ball and roller) providing no re-lubrication of HVAC fans (Air Handling Units) providing an extended superior unit service life - increasing reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
The SKF Explorer roller bearing performance, together with a new grease selection for fan performance, has given SKF a clear and unique advantage in the market place.
An innovative locking system
The SKF ConCentra stepped sleeve, a masterpiece of locking technology, is the real innovation behind the SKF ConCentra bearing unit. The locking concept is based on two mating surfaces with precision engineered inclined serrations on their contact surfaces. By tightening the grub screws in the mounting ring, the pressure ring forces the inner ring up the inclined planes of the stepped sleeve. This provides a true concentric fit that is tight, accurate and highly reliable, even under the most difficult operating conditions.
Fast, easy installation
SKF ConCentra bearing units are sealed, greased and ready to mount right out of the box. Unlike other bearing units, the SKF ConCentra bearing unit is balanced (not offset), and designed for easy installation and removal. In fact, an SKF ConCentra unit installs 20 to 30 minutes faster than a sleeve mounted bearing in a split housing. For OEMs, this translates to reduced costs in time and manpower.
Outstanding durability
Designed for outstanding reliability and long service life, SKF ConCentra bearing units can accommodate shaft deflections and misalignment.
