SKF split bearings can be found anywhere steel companies require reliability, accessibility, and flexibility.

In material handling machines, bucket elevators, crushers, and conveyors for processing raw materials, as well as conveyors and fans used in the smelting process of coke ovens and blast furnaces.

In steelmaking, especially on continuous casting machines—SKF's water-cooled bearings thrive under extreme temperatures. Typically, they deliver 2 million tons at the upper section and 1 million tons at the lower section.

During the steel shaping process, SKF bearings enable the hot steel to move within the cooling chamber without being affected by damp and dirty conditions. The conveyor platform easily moves ton upon ton of heavy steel plates on SKF bearings.The ink spindle and Pilger mill also benefit from SKF's reliability.

Industry-wide Support

SKF split bearings are crucial for various motors used in the steelmaking process, particularly suitable for positions where the split nature of the bearings significantly reduces maintenance costs. They are also reliably and effectively used for fans, blowers, and conveyor belts.
