SKF has manufactured and supplied its largest ever spherical roller bearing( bore diameter 1.25 m) to be used within the mining industry. The bearing was manufactured at SKF’ s factory in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“ SKF is a world leader in spherical roller bearings, manufacturing bearings of all sizes and series – from the smallest, with a 20 mm bore size, to this large size bearing that weighs close to 8 tonnes” says Petra Öberg Gustafsson, Product Line Manager for self-aligning rolling bearings at SKF.
The bearing is equipped with SKF SensorMount, a unique system that measures the actual mounting fit of the bearing onto the shaft. It helps avoid the risk of improper mounting, a major issue for large size bearings. The bearing weighs 7,780 kg. Each roller within it weighs 42 kg.
