A specialised solution for highly contaminated environments: three barriers protect the bearing from contaminants – leading to extended bearing service life.
The upgraded SKF Three-barrier solution means re-greasing twice a year instead of once a week, saving up to 90% of the time and cost of greasing (up to 99.9% if not purged) and increasing safety for maintenance workers.

A reliable solution for mounted bearings in punishing operating environments, these housings can help cut maintenance costs, drive reliability, and extend bearing service life for a range of machinery.
SKF SNL/SAF housings are manufactured to world-class quality standards to meet the extreme demands of mining operations. Giving you longer service life, easier mounting, less maintenance, and longer relubrication intervals
Designed for split housings in extremely contaminated and wet applications, these seals help to keep contaminants out of bearing arrangements. Ensuring superior protection, SKF Taconite seals help exclude contaminants and water, reduce greasing intervals and extend bearing service life.
You can also expect improved water ingress prevention even during high-pressure washdowns. The SKF Taconite seals are compatible with new and older housings.
SKF LGGB 2 is a biodegradable, low toxicity, synthetic ester oil-based grease, using a lithium-calcium thickener. Its special formulation makes it most suitable for applications where environmental contamination is a concern. They offer good performance in applications with steel-on-steel spherical plain bearings, ball bearings, and roller bearings.
Typical applications:
In critical production lines, every minute of downtime costs. Contaminated environments and heavy loads in applications prone to misalignment or shaft deflections are daily issues for many industries.
With sealed SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings, you’re equipped to meet these challenges. Pre-lubricated with specially formulated grease and sealed with high-performance contact seals, they can protect the bearing and lubricant from contaminants that might otherwise cause premature bearing failure.
