CARB toroidal roller Bearing
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.
Bearing features:
- 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.
