Designs and variants<br />

Cages<br />

Depending on their size, <strong>SKF</strong> hybrid deep<br />

groove ball bearings are fitted with one of the<br />

following cages:<br />

• a stamped steel cage, riveted, ball centred<br />

(no designation suffix)<br />

• a glass fibre reinforced PA66 cage, snaptype,<br />

ball centred (designation suffix TN9)<br />

• a glass fibre reinforced PEEK cage, snaptype,<br />

ball centred (designation suffix TNH)<br />

Depending on their series and size, <strong>SKF</strong> hybrid<br />

cylindrical roller bearings are fitted with one<br />

of the following cages:<br />

• a glass fibre reinforced PA66 cage, windowtype,<br />

roller centred (designation suffix P)<br />

• a glass fibre reinforced PEEK cage, windowtype,<br />

roller centred (designation suffix PH)<br />

• a machined brass cage, riveted, roller centred<br />

(designation suffix M)<br />

• a machined brass cage, window-type, inner<br />

or outer ring centred, depending on the<br />

bearing design (designation suffix ML)<br />

Hybrid bearings with special steel rings<br />

and coatings<br />

Hybrid bearings can be customized for specific<br />

application requirements. For additional information<br />

about the following variants, contact<br />

the <strong>SKF</strong> application engineering service.<br />

• bearing rings stabilized for temperatures<br />

≤ 300 °C (570 °F)<br />

• bearing rings made of through-hardened<br />

stainless steel for enhanced corrosion<br />

and wear-resistance and with good hightemperature<br />

properties<br />

• bearing rings made of through-hardened<br />

stainless steel for cryogenic temperatures<br />

• bearing rings made of high-temperature<br />

tool steel<br />

• coating with zinc chromate or thin dense<br />

chromium for corrosion protection<br />

• coating based on molybdenum for low<br />

friction, especially in vacuum or gas<br />

applications<br />

For additional information about cages,<br />

refer to Cages in the relevant product chapter<br />

(† page 298 for deep groove ball bearings<br />

and page 582 for cylindrical roller bearings).<br />

The lubricants generally used for rolling<br />

bearings do not have a detrimental effect on<br />

cage properties. However, some synthetic oils<br />

and greases with a synthetic oil base and<br />

lubricants containing a high proportion of EP<br />

additives, when used at high temperatures,<br />

can have a detrimental effect on polyamide<br />

cages. For additional information about the<br />

suitability of cages, refer to Cages († page<br />

37) and Cage materials († page 152).<br />
