Raceway/shoulder diameter and stand-out transition Changing demands in machine tool applica- tions require bearings that can accommo- date heavy axial loads. These loads can change the contact conditions in a bearing. When an axial load is present, the pressure- ellipses in the ball-raceway contact areas become larger and the point of contact be- tween a ball and raceway moves closer to the shoulder. Under these conditions, edge stresses may occur in conventional bear- ings, which can have a detrimental effect on bearing service life. SKF single direction bearings have a ground transition radius between the race- way and shoulder. This radius reduces edge stresses by approximately 30 %, which ena- bles these bearings to accommodate incidental overloading better than conven- tional designs. Transition between the raceway and shoulder Typical stresses in the contact area in a bearing subjected to heavy axial load Conventional bearing Bearing with a ground transition 8 Low-friction seals A When comparing a sealed bearing to an open bearing and external seals, a sealed bearing provides the following benefits: • fewer components • reduced assembly time • no risk of over or under greasing the bearing • reduced risk of grease contamination • less need for maintenance • extended service life Because of their versatility, sealed bearings are becoming more and more common in screw drive applications. SKF sealed bear- ings, which use low-friction seals, have vir- tually eliminated the need to order bearings or bearing sets with a special seal configu- ration on one side or the other. The seal forms an extremely narrow gap with the shoulder or recess profile of the in- ner ring and is practically non-contacting. Because of this, these bearings do not gen- SKF sealed single direction bearings can replace open bearings and bearings with a special seal erate any more friction than a seal on only configuration one side of the bearing, enabling them to operate at the same high speeds as bearings without seals. SKF single direction angular contact thrust ball bearings are available with low-friction seals. Unique heat treatment SKF single direction angular contact thrust ball bearings undergo a unique heat treat- ment. This heat treatment process is similar to that applied to SKF Explorer bearings.
