The SKF CARB toroidal roller bearings have one row of long, slightly barrel-shaped symmetrical rollers and torus-shaped raceway profiles. They are non-locating bearings and accommodate exclusively radial loads. CARB bearings are often used to replace the non-locating spherical roller bearing in a locating/non-locating bearing arrangement.

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
