Designed to accommodate axial and radial loads typically used for non-driven wheels

Tapered roller bearings

Tapered roller bearings are typically used for non-driven front or rear wheels and are generally used in pairs. SKF offers a wide range of tapered roller bearings in both metric and inch sizes.

Product features and performance

  • One inner ring and one outer ring, matched precisely with the rollers
  • Low cross sections and precise contact angles to accommodate axial and radial loads when mounted with proper clearance
  • Precision-matched cup and cone designed to install easily and maximize bearing performance and life

Ball bearings

Designed to accommodate axial and radial loads in both directions

Also accommodates high speeds, axial and radial loads typically used for driven rear wheels.

Product features and performance

  • Made of super-clean and tough steel for longer bearing life
  • Precision manufacturing minimizes vibration and heat generation

Cylindrical roller bearings

Designed to accommodate high loads typically used on driven rear wheels

The modern caged single row cylindrical roller bearing was invented in 1909 by Dr.-Ing. Josef Kirner, a leading engineer at the Norma-Compagnie, Cannstatt, Germany. This company was incorporated into the SKF Group in 1914. Since then, most major technical advancements in cylindrical roller bearings have been developed by SKF.

Rear axle repair kit

Our kits make it possible to double axle service life

Bearing rollers can wear a groove into the axle shaft In rear wheel bearings that use the axle as an inner raceway. Until now, the solution has been to replace the axle itself. With SKF Rear axle repair kits, axles still in good condition can be reused. Installers can reposition the rollers and seal to ride on unworn portions of the axle, which can double axle service life.
