Split bearings
Cooper Roller Bearings" becomes "SKF Cooper Split Bearings"
Five years ago, SKF acquired Cooper Roller Bearings Co. Ltd. from the US-based Kaydon Corporation (Cooper's parent company at the time). Now that the integration phase is complete, the company has decided to market all of Cooper's split bearing product lines under the name "SKF Cooper".
SKF Cooper products complement SKF's growing portfolio of solutions for industries such as marine, mining, heavy engineering and power generation. Global sales and service of SKF Cooper solutions will be handled by local SKF sales offices.
Split roller bearings from SKF Cooper are characterized, according to the company, among other things, by the fact that they can be mounted, inspected and dismounted without complicated additional work on the surrounding structure, which reduces maintenance costs and minimizes downtimes. The corresponding products include, for example, split cylindrical roller bearings or split double-row tapered roller bearings that can support axial loads in both directions.
Both bearing types are installed and sealed in special ball seat housings. These housings, in turn, have a spherical outer surface and are movably accommodated in a suitable mounting unit (e.g. stand or flange). Thanks to its "ball joint principle", the overall design is extremely insensitive to shaft deflection and misalignment, especially as the seal always maintains its optimum position in relation to the shaft. This results in a sealing performance that is considered one of the best in the rolling bearing industry.
In addition to their complementary product ranges and reputation for engineering excellence, Cooper and SKF have another thing in common: the year 1907 was a real milestone for both companies. It was then that Thomas Cooper patented the world's first split rolling bearing, while Sven Wingquist invented the double row self-aligning ball bearing and founded Svenska Kullagerfabriken - better known today as SKF. kp
