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

SKF Cooper split SRBs (sealed or open) are easily replaced in situ and require very few changes to the shaft alignment or driveline – reducing time to repair by two-thirds. They can be used with SKF metric and inch split block housings or interchanged with other brand’s housings. Additional benefits:

  • Longer service life compared to other split bearings, thanks to the wire cut manufacturing technique and sealed versions
  • Sealed variant reduces grease consumption – and cuts environmental impact
  • Reduced risk of shaft fretting with better axial clamping

Contact your SKF authorized distributor today to explore how you can be better prepared for your next bearing replacement! » Learn More
