SKF Bearings & CR Seals | Applied

SKF Bearings + CR Seals =
An Exponentially Better Type E Bearing Unit

The tapered roller bearings in SKF's new Type E units are among the world’s best. But the reason that they’re the best choice for heavily contaminated applications is because they’ve paired them with CR Seals technology.

Backed by over a century of proven sealing expertise, the CR Seals in SKF mounted tapered roller bearings provide robust, long-lasting protection against contaminant ingress and lost productivity, backed by SKF's performance warranty
(warranty valid in US and Canada only.).

Superior Sealing Performance

Field reports indicate that contamination is the primary mode of failure for Type E units. As a leading bearing supplier that also manufacturers seals, SKF understands how seals play a critical role in a Type E’s performance. To make sure their units perform in the demanding environments they’re in, they subjected their seals and their competitors’ seals to worst-case industrial environments.

On the competitors’ seals, the test had to be stopped anywhere from 5 – 50 hours due to seal leakage while the CR Seal from SKF performed over 10x the next best competitor.
