• Accommodate misalignment
  CARB bearings are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings (fig. 2).
• Accommodate axial displacement
  CARB bearings compensate for thermal expansion of the shaft like cylindrical or needle roller bearings (fig. 3).
• 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 (fig. 4)
• Long service life
  The special roller profile prevents stress peaks at the roller ends (fig. 5).
• Low friction
  Self-guiding rollers keep friction and frictional heat at low levels (fig. 6).
• Improved wear resistance
  The complete standard assortment is of the upgraded SKF Explorer class.
• Low noise
  CARB bearings can reduce noise and vibration levels, for example, in paper machines and fans.

• 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.

Benefits
