Looking to move radial and axial loads in both directions in a contaminated setting? Choose a ball bearing with shielding like this one from SKF. Non-contact shields on both sides prevent dust, moisture and other foreign matter from entering the bearing and potentially shortening its life. They do this without increasing friction, so help keep operating temperatures low to prevent thermal degradation over time. The bearing's resistance-reducing deep-groove design also keeps things cool. Low operating temperatures mean it can safely handle applications running at high speeds of 14,000r/min.

• Dynamic load rating of 13.8kN lets you know the bearing tolerates high forces when in motion
• Carbon-rich steel material resists wear to deliver a long service life
• Heat-stabilised up to +120°C, so a safe bet for use in harsh settings

• Automotive production
• Transport systems
• Textile manufacture

As it's part of the SKF Explorer class, this bearing is designed to be especially hardy, making it a practical pick for applications involving high-power-density kit such as electric pumps and motors.
