Easy mounting for non-locating bearings

SKF has launched a new bearing unit, called SKF Panloc (pre-adjustable non-locating bearing unit), which will help bring greater reliability and efficiency to machines using non-locating bearings.

Non-locating bearings are generally intended to compensate for temperature extensions of the shaft without frictional resistance.

Unlike other non-locating bearings, SKF Panloc is easy to mount.

After mounting, it can then be precisely adjusted to a specified clearance or preload which is essential for a high running accuracy during operation.

The Panloc bearing unit is supplied as a complete set and is easy to mount.

Separate mounting of the inner ring to a cylindrical inference fit simplifies the mounting process, and there is no frictional resistance within the bearing during the displacement process.

Another key advantage is that it precisely records the clearance or preload without the use of tapered bores or shafts.

The ability to accurately check preload and clearance makes Panloc ideal for printing machines, where high quality requires a high positioning accuracy.

A single-row version is currently in place, although a two-row version is in the pipeline.

SKF Panloc will also find applications in low operating temperatures, or that require high stiffness and easy replacement of bearings.

This makes it ideal for machine tools, compressors, and universal joints.
