The design of SKF Cooper split roller bearings make them beneficial for inaccessible applications where mounting, dismounting and maintenance is a challenge, for example, between head pulley and gearbox or motor. They are also highly suitable for long shafts which require support at several positions, or on cranked shafts. Split roller bearings can therefore be the ideal solution to reduce machinery maintenance and repair downtime. They are typically mounted in a cartridge that fits into different kinds of housings, building a complete unit.
SKF Cooper split bearing units can be disassembled into smaller components, easing the tasks of lifting and handling and making mounting or replacement simple even in the most cramped and inaccessible conditions. Clearances are pre-set, so there is no requirement for any on-site adjustments or specialized fitting tools.
Cooper offers four standard bearings series to accommodate a variety of shaft sizes:
100 Series:
For certain bore sizes in the range 75mm to 150mm Cooper also offer the 100 Series. Lighter duty than the 01 series, it is more compact and capable of higher operating speeds.
01/01E Series:
The most commonly used, 01 / 01E series are intended for medium duty applications with a wide range of speeds. 01E series are available in 45mm to 105mm size range, and 160mm to 300mm size range, and offer enhanced load carrying capabilities, and can be considered for applications where 02 series were previously considered.
02/02E Series:
The 02 Series offers a more rugged bearing solution for demanding applications where the 01 Series may not be suitable. The 02 Series also operates over a wide range of speeds. For a given shaft size, the 02 Series offers more radial and axial capacity than the 01 Series.02E series are available in 160mm to 300mm size range, and with enhanced load carrying capabilities, they can be considered for applications where 03 series were previously considered.
03 Series:
Designed for extreme loading conditions the 03 Series tops the capacity of the 02 Series and offers the highest load ratings of all standard series.
