CARB toroidal roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings 

Optimized bearings for unbalanced loads

SKF offers two bearing solutions that can handle unbalanced loads without compromising performance: CARB toroidal roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings (CRB).

For both bearing types, thermal expansion of the shaft is accommodated within the bearing. As a result, the outer ring can have a tight fit in the housing and radial freedom can be limited. Benefits include:

• Low vibration
• Low noise
• High reliability
• Increased performance
• Longer service life

Additionally, CARB bearings can accommodate up to 0,5 degrees of misalignment and help resist the effects of cavitation.
