SKF Brand Bearing, 6000 Series, SKF Bearings
SKF Explorer ball bearings are characterized by the following improvements:
• Optimized internal geometry
• Material improvements
• Higher ball quality
• Process improvements
Each of these improvements contributes to the new performance of bearings.
SKF established a correlation between oxygen content and rolling contact fatigue strength. As a result, SKF Explorer ball bearings use steel that is extremely clean and homogenous with low oxygen level content. This improved steel has been proven to increase bearing service life and reduce fatigue failures
The unique raceway shoulder transition reduces edge stresses, friction heat while improving lubrication and decreasing wear.
