FAQ

What does the ‘E’ suffix signify in the SKF 22208 E?

The ‘E’ indicates an optimized internal design featuring two stamped steel cages, a flangeless inner ring, and a floating guide ring. This design significantly increases the load-carrying capacity compared to older designs.

Is this bearing suitable for high-speed applications?

While SKF Explorer bearings offer improved performance, their primary design focus is on high load capacity and misalignment accommodation. For high-speed applications, it is crucial to consult the SKF technical datasheet for the limiting and reference speeds under your specific lubrication and cooling conditions.

What is the correct mounting procedure for a cylindrical bore bearing like this?

A bearing with a cylindrical bore is typically mounted with a press fit on the shaft. To prevent damage, it is essential to use proper tools, such as a bearing induction heater to expand the inner ring or a hydraulic press with the correct fitting tool that applies force only to the inner ring.
