Highlights of the new edition of the SKF Bearing Installation and Maintenance Guide

​

The mounting and dismounting section has been expanded to include:

- Individual step-by-step instructions for mounting self-aligning ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, and CARB®. This expansion will allow the book to be used as a guide during actual mounting of bearings rather than just a reference.

- Assembly, mounting and dismounting instructions for split pillow block housings, unit ball housings, and unit roller housings.

The shaft and housing fit tables have been updated to include stainless steel bearings and reflect slightly different fit recommendations based on bearing size and style. These changes are the result of SKF’s profound knowledge of our products and vast experience with OEM and end user customers.

The lubrication section now includes the latest viscosity requirement guidelines as well as more specific guidelines for grease relubrication.

The troubleshooting section is now more user-friendly.

The bearing failure section now reflects the new ISO terminology and structure for bearing failures. It also features failure analysis service provided by SKF.
