Overview
SKF FRB 8.5/72 locating ring is a precision bearing support accessory from SKF, a leader in bearing and motion solutions. When the bearing seat in the housing and the bearing width do not match, locating rings are required to secure the bearing; typically, two locating rings are required per housing, with one ring placed on each side of the bearing. The FRB 8.5/72 features precise inner and outer diameters and is engineered for reliable axial bearing support in industrial applications.
Key Features
- Inner diameter: 64 mm, Outer diameter: 72 mm, Width: 8.5 mm
- Inserted on each side of self-aligning ball or spherical roller bearings to locate the shaft axially in both directions
- Designed to be used with plummer block type housings
- Precision manufactured for tight tolerances and secure fit
- New condition, ready for immediate installation
