SKF’s Cooper bearings get a facelift

1 February 2019 Shaft power components

SKF Cooper split roller bearings have a brand new look, with new colour, product markings and box design. The new SKF Cooper dual product branding and identity will be applied for all split roller bearings. Key changes are the housing, branding, product name plates, packaging and labels, and component markings, as well as housing and cartridge paint colour. Customers can rest assured that the changes are only visual and do not in any way impact the product’s technology or performance.

SKF Cooper products will continue to complement the growing SKF portfolio of complete solutions for the marine, mining, quarrying, construction and energy sectors. In addition to the brand name change, the channels to market for SKF Cooper products, including responses to customer enquiries, product supply and after-sales support, will be handled on a global basis through local SKF sales outlets.

SKF Cooper split roller bearings can be fitted, removed and inspected without having to dismantle surrounding equipment, providing savings in terms of reduced maintenance and downtime. The products include both split cylindrical roller bearings and split double row tapered roller bearings, the latter with the ability to take axial loads in either direction. Both are housed and sealed in special swivel cartridges, which are suitable for mounting in pedestal or flanged outer housings.
