Basic Concepts of SKF Wheel Bearings

SKF wheel bearings are designed to support the weight of a vehicle, while allowing for smooth rotation of the wheels. They consist of several components, including the inner and outer rings, rolling elements, and a cage or separator. The rolling elements are typically balls or rollers, which provide reduced friction and wear compared to traditional bearings.
