SKF Y-bearings, which are usually refered to as insert bearings, are basically sealed deep groove ball bearings in the 62 and 63 series with a convex sphered outer surface. These bearings are manufactured in a number of different series and sizes and are available with standard inner ring or an inner ring that is extended on one or both sides.
The various bearing series differ in the way the bearing is located onto the shaft.

These SKF sleeves facilitate the use of the SKF Oil Injection Method. The larger sleeves have oil supply ducts and distribution grooves,enabling the user to inject oil between the sleeve and bearing bore and between the sleeve and the shaft. This oil reduces friction and force necessary for mounting, particularly when mounting in a dry state.
Reduces the risk of damage to shaft and sleeve
Reduces the time to mount and dismount bearings
A full range of pumps, nipples and pipes are available
SKF sleeves also help making bearing dismounting easier

Explorer is a new generation of SKF spherical roller bearings that provide previously unattainable benefits in a wide range of applications.
Explorer bearings afford several times longer life than standard spherical roller bearings. The new bearings' extended lives offer valuable downsizing or upgrading opportunities for engineers working on both new and existing designs. Explorer bearings make it possible to reduce overall dimensions, achieve material cost and weight reductions, and also increase energy efficiency. A smaller bearing runs cooler and generates less vibration.

NoWear bearings make sense whenever bearings are failing prematurely due to severe operating conditions. NoWear bearings can withstand longer periods of insufficient lubrication, sudden variations in load and rapid speed changes, vibrations and oscillations. NoWear bearings open up new possibilities to existing applications operating under severe conditions, without introducing major design changes and enable freedom in new designs. They have already been proven in a wide range of extreme applications, including paper machines, marine and offshore applications, fans, compressors, hydraulic pumps and motors.

SKF hybrid bearings are made as standard of the same steel as the equivalent all-steel bearing. The standard stabilization temperatures are 120 °C for deep grove ball bearings and 150 °C for angular contact ball bearings. For continuous operation above these temperatures it is recommended to use bearings with rings that are dimensionally stabilized for use at higher operating temperatures e.g.

It is generally difficult to determine the correct quantity of grease when manually lubricating bearings, either using a grease gun or pump, which can result in either over- or under-greasing the bearing.
That can negatively influence the bearing's service life and possibly result in machine breakdown.
The skf grease meter lagm 1000e accurately measures grease discharge in volume or weight, in both metric (cm³ or g) and us units (us fl. Oz or oz). It has a high maximum pressure of 70 mpa
(10,000 psi), making it ideal for use in combination with many types of grease guns and pumps.

When dismounting bearings, care must be taken not to damage other machine components, such as the shaft or housing, as damage can result in compromising the machine's efficiency and lifetime. Bearings are sometimes dismounted to maintain or replace other components of the machine. These bearings are often re-used. Selecting the correct dismounting methods and tools is then essential in reducing the risk of damaging the bearing, allowing it to be used again. Dismounting bearings can be a hazardous and demanding task. Selecting the correct dismounting methods and tools is therefore of utmost importance for reducing the risk of personal injuries.

The CARB toroidal roller bearing is a completely new type of radial roller bearing. This compact self-aligning roller bearing was developed by SKF and introduced on the market in 1995. In a unique design, it combines the self-aligning capability of the spherical roller bearing with the unconstrained axial displacement ability of the cylindrical roller bearing. It can also have the compact cross section normally associated with the needle roller bearing.
The load carrying capacity of the CARB bearing is very high even when it has to compensate for angular misalignment or axial displacement.

For bearing arrangements, which have to operate at extreme temperatures in the range -150 to +350 °C, or which have to withstand very large temperature differences, e.g. in kiln trucks, furnaces or the conveyor systems of lacquering equipment, normal rolling bearings are unsuitable. SKF has therefore developed high-temperaturedeep groove ball bearings
- Y-bearings
- Y-bearing plummer block units
- Y-bearing flanged units
