SKF Cooper split bearings – now available as SRB! Cut downtime to a minimum

		Combining more than a century of SKF self-aligning bearing knowledge and more than a century of Cooper split cylindrical roller bearing expertise, SKF Cooper split spherical roller bearings (sealed or open) are designed to be easily replaced in situ and require very few changes to the shaft alignment or driveline – reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) by two-thirds. With fewer steps required to do the replacement also comes better maintenance worker safety. Benefits of using an SKF Cooper split bearing compared to a standard bearing solution:
Allows safer and time-saving in situ bearing replacements in the trapped position on drivelines. Sealed variant available for increased protection against contamination and reduced maintenance Longer service life (MTBF) compared to other split bearings, thanks to the wire cut inner and outer ring manufacturing technique and sealed versions Sealed variant reduces grease consumption – and cuts environmental impact Compatible with SKF metric and inch split block housings Reduced risk of shaft fretting with better axial clamping Interchangeable with competitors’ split spherical roller bearings and split block housings Example of the cost savings that can be achieved by deploying SKF Cooper split bearings in a trapped location.
