Upgraded SKF Explorer
The original SKF Explorer bearings set a new world standard for performance and endurance . Now all standard SKF spherical roller bearings , CARB toroidal roller bearings and most spherical roller thrust bearings have been upgraded to a new level of performance .
Upgraded SKF Explorer bearings have a superior balance between hardness and toughness providing a higher degree of wear resistance , enabling as much as twice the service life as the original , in applications where there are high levels of contamination or poor lubrication conditions .
