SKF single row cylindrical roller bearings are available in many designs, series and sizes. The major design differences between the bearings presented in this section are in:

• The cage design and material
• The configuration of the inner and outer ring flanges.

Features and benefits

• Low friction (Roller end / flange contact area)
  The open flange design, together with the roller end design and surface finish, promote lubricant film formation resulting in lower friction and higher axial load carrying capacity.
• Long service life
  The logarithmic roller profile reduces edge stresses at the roller/raceway contact and sensitivity to misalignment and shaft deflection.
• Enhanced operational reliability
  The surface finish on the contact surfaces of the rollers and raceways supports the formation of a hydrodynamic lubricant film.
• Separable and interchangeable
  The separable components of SKF cylindrical roller bearings are interchangeable. This facilitates mounting and dismounting, as well as maintenance inspections.
• High speed capability
  The cage designs are suitable for high speeds, rapid accelerations and peak loads.
