SKF 24020-2RS5/VT143B SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

Spherical roller bearings play a key role in the proper operation of equipment subjected to high mechanical loads. Their robust design ensures reliable and continuous performance, even under unstable or demanding operating conditions.

This SKF self-aligning bearing is designed to provide maximum protection against contaminants while maintaining high load capacity and reliability. Thanks to its two rows of rollers and self-aligning capability, it effectively compensates for shaft misalignment.

Features:
This self-aligning roller bearing is equipped with HNBR contact seals on both sides, stamped steel cages, a cylindrical bore, and an annular groove with three lubrication holes in the outer ring. This standard design allows for effective relubrication while protecting the bearing from external contaminants. SKF LGEP2 lubricant and standard radial clearance ensure a good balance between performance, stability, and durability, even under combined loads or misalignment.

Maintenance:
This bearing is filled with 45–60% grease and protected by HNBR seals on both sides, ensuring excellent protection against dust, moisture, and liquids. It features an annular groove and three lubrication holes to facilitate relubrication. This system allows for even distribution of lubricant and ensures better removal of contaminants, thereby reducing the risk of premature wear and extending the bearing’s service life. This design reduces maintenance requirements.

Sealing:
This model is equipped with contact seals on both sides, made of HNBR with a steel reinforcement. This technology guarantees excellent resistance to heat, oils, moisture, and chemicals. It helps retain the lubricant inside the bearing while blocking the entry of external contaminants. However, the seals’ constant contact with the rings slightly reduces the maximum permissible rotational speed but provides enhanced protection.
