Overview
SKF is the most widely specified bearing brand in the world, and the one most often written on a drawing when an engineer means "a bearing of this size and this quality". Its range runs from a miniature deep groove ball bearing to spherical rollers carrying a mill.
Petrofab holds SKF in Doha across ball, taper roller and cylindrical roller types, and quotes the rest of the SKF catalogue through its supplier base.
What we supply
The full rolling bearing range: deep groove ball, self aligning ball, angular contact, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, taper roller, needle roller, thrust and bearing units, with housings, seals and lubrication, in metric and imperial sizes.

Reading an SKF number
SKF writes the bearing itself first, then a suffix for every departure from the standard build. These are the codes on the SKF bearings we hold.
| Code | What it means |
| 2Z | Shields on both sides. A shield keeps dirt out without touching the inner ring, so there is no added friction |
| 2RS1 | Contact seals on both sides. A seal touches, so it keeps more out and costs a little speed |
| 2RSH | Contact seals on both sides, of the design that resists washout, which is the one to ask for where the machine is cleaned with a pressure hose |
| C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal, for a shaft that runs hot or an interference fit that closes the clearance up |
| NU, NJ, NKIB | Cylindrical roller types. NU carries radial load only, NJ locates the shaft in one direction, NKIB combines needle rollers with an angular contact ball set |
| ECJ | Optimised internal design with a stamped steel cage |
| ATN9 | Glass fibre reinforced polyamide cage |
| J2/Q | Pressed steel cage with the optimised taper roller geometry |
A bearing usually has an equivalent under another brand, and the letters are where the two differ. Send whichever number is in front of you and we will identify what fits.
Ordering
Send us the SKF number with the quantity. If the marking has worn off, send the bore, the outside diameter and the width, and tell us what it runs in and how hard it works. We will identify the equivalent and quote it. Quantities and delivery are confirmed on the quotation.
The full bearing range, and every brand we carry, is on our bearings page.
