Sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings

Optimum protection against contaminants, downtime and high maintenance costs.

Sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings, now available from ERIKS, are designed to keep lubricant in and contaminants out of the bearing. For applications where there are high demands on cleanliness or high levels of contamination, heavy radial loads and misalignment.

The benefits of this include:

• Reduced maintenance


• Reduced grease consumption, resulting in a lower environmental impact


• Increased uptime


• Longer bearing service life


• Improved worker safety

The SKF three-barrier solution for harsh operating environments

This environmentally friendly, cost-effective bundle of products can extend bearing service life without complicated and expensive sealing arrangements.
The effectiveness of this solution is in its simplicity. It protects the bearing during assembly and operation.

1. SKF L-seals or S-seals - These standard, cost-effective housing seals are characterised by their ability to prevent the ingress of contaminants.
2. Housing grease - SKF recommends filling the housing with SKF LGGB 2 grease to act as a contamination
barrier. This biodegradable, environmentally-friendly grease is an excellent alternative to filling the housing with bearing grease.
3. Integral bearing seals - These very effective seals keep the high quality bearing lubricant in and contaminants out of the bearing cavity.
