Selection of Bearing Type: Integral Seals

The selection of a seal is of vital importance to the proper performance of the bearing. SKF supplies bearings with integral

• shields (fig)
• low-friction seals (fig)
• contact seals (fig)

that can provide an economic and space-saving solution for many applications. A large number of sizes are available for

• deep groove ball bearings
• angular contact ball bearings
• self-aligning ball bearings
• cylindrical roller bearings
• needle roller bearings
• spherical roller bearings
• CARB toroidal roller bearings
• cam rollers
• Y-bearings and Y-bearing units.

All bearings with integral seals on both sides are filled with a grease of appropriate quality and quantity.
