SKF Wheel Bearing Race

The SKF wheel bearing race (also called a bearing cup or outer race) is a precision-ground component. It works with tapered roller bearings to support the vehicle's load and let the wheel rotate smoothly. SKF is a global leader in bearing technology. It makes these races to the tight tolerances and consistent quality that wheel-end applications need.

Key Features:

• Precision-machined raceway surface for smooth, quiet rolling contact with the bearing rollers
• Hardened bearing-grade steel for durability under heavy radial and axial loads
• Tight dimensional tolerances for proper seating in the hub and correct bearing fit
• Designed to replace worn or pitted races and restore proper wheel-end performance
• Backed by SKF's bearing engineering and quality control

Replacing the race whenever you install a new wheel bearing is good practice. Mixing a new bearing with a worn race, or a worn bearing with a new race, can cause premature wear, noise and heat. Installing a matched bearing and race helps ensure long service life, reliable handling and quieter operation.
