Don't let friction put the brakes on your equipment's moving parts – smooth things out with this ball bearing from SKF. It transfers the load from your machine's shaft to its rolling parts during rotation, taking the pressure off to boost performance. Its SKF Explorer class designation means it's designed to the highest specifications to withstand high loads and deliver a long service life. The unit's sheet metal cage supports free movement of the balls while preventing them from rubbing against each other. This allows for even weight distribution along the raceway under both axial and radial loads.

• Durable steel body resists corrosion and impact for use in harsh environments
• Light weight of 31g means it's easy to handle during installation
• Limiting speed of 28,000r/min makes it fit for fast-paced applications
• Inside diameter of 17mm for use with small shafts

• Oil and gas plants
• Chemical laboratories
• Marine engineering

This unit's open-ended design lets you visually inspect it during operation and lubricate it when needed. This prevents downtime, as you don't need to dismantle your machinery to perform a simple check or top up grease.
