Tapered roller bearings reduce maintenance

Tag : cylindrical roller bearings

The self-retained bearings are installed in pairs to provide abearing unit that is sealed on both sides.
Due to their large support base, the bearing unit can support allload combinations, including radial, axial and tilting forces.
The support base is significantly larger than in double row cylindrical roller bearings .
The JK0S series is particularly suited to applications where loadsare high and speeds are relatively low.
Examples include wheel bearings on agricultural machinery, supportrollers in forklift truck masts and for cable sheaves and return pulleys on cable cars.
When the bearing is assembled with an annular ring, the profiledplastic cage snaps into a slot in the extended outer ring and holdsthe bearing ring and the roller and cage assembly together.
After the bearing is fitted, there is no longer any contact betweenthe cage and the outer ring, therefore there is no wear of the cageduring operation.
The bearings can be used in operating temperatures from - 30 up to+110C, limited only by the grease and seal material. Request a free brochure from Schaeffler (UK) ...
