FAQ

What does the ‘W’ prefix in W 638/2-2Z signify?

The ‘W’ prefix in SKF’s nomenclature for this series indicates that the bearing is made from stainless steel, providing enhanced resistance to corrosion compared to standard chrome steel bearings.

What are the advantages of the ‘-2Z’ suffix on this SKF bearing?

The ‘-2Z’ suffix means the bearing has a pressed metal shield on both sides. These non-contact shields protect against solid contaminants without increasing friction, making them suitable for high-speed applications where low torque is crucial.

Is this bearing suitable for use in a food processing environment?

Yes, due to its stainless steel construction, it is resistant to washdowns and cleaning agents commonly used in the food and beverage industry. However, always verify that the lubricant inside is also food-grade if required for your specific application.
