Features and benefits

• Accommodate misalignment
  CARB bearings are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings.
• Accommodate axial displacement
  CARB bearings compensate for thermal expansion of the shaft like cylindrical or needle roller bearings.
• Wide assortment of dimension series
  CARB bearings are available with the same boundary dimensions as corresponding spherical roller bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings and needle roller bearings.
• Long service life
  The special roller profile prevents stress peaks at the roller ends.
• Low friction
  Self-guiding rollers keep friction and frictional heat at low levels.
• Improved wear resistance
  All CARB bearings are upgraded SKF Explorer bearings.
• Low noise
  CARB bearings can reduce noise and vibration levels, for example, in paper machines and fans.
• Long bearing system life
  CARB bearings provide benefits in self-aligning bearing arrangements. With a CARB bearing in the non-locating position, there are no internally induced axial forces, which results in multiple benefits:
  • Less load extends the service life.
  • The bearings run cooler, the lubricant lasts longer and maintenance intervals can be extended.
  • Noise and vibration levels can be reduced.
