The reliable choice
Driven tools allow for high precision milling, drilling and tapping operations. Managing such applications
is demanding, and in operating conditions where even the smallest impacts can cause massive
disruption, reliability is key.

High precision operations come with a
number of challenges. The space in
which the machining occurs is often
limited, with short cycle times and use
of high machining forces. In addition,
contaminants, noise and vibration levels
increase the stress put on machinery as
well as on operators. These conditions
require specially designed bearings
which contribute to reliable
performance and increased uptime. SKF
super-precision angular contact ball
bearings for driven tools are designed to
ensure a smooth operation. They are
characterized by:
• High axial and radial load
carrying capacity
• High degree of stiffness
• Low noise and vibration levels
Design based on
well-proven technology
and axial loads in one direction. These
bearings contain the maximum number
and size of balls to better meet driven
tools application requirements. Their
close osculation provides a high degree
of stiffness and the highest possible load
carrying capacity.
High system rigidity
without limiting speed
The contact angle of 25° meets the
requirements of driven tool applications
without limiting the speed capability.
The compact, high power density design
has improved load sharing across the
bearings, resulting in high system rigidity.
To reduce noise and vibration levels to a
minimum, the bearings are fitted with
an optimized and silent running glass-
fibre reinforced polyamide cage. The
higher rotational stability and low level
of heat generation results in an
extremely quiet operation.
sealed design provides a number of
advantages including preventing dirt
particles from penetrating the bearing,
decreasing risk of lubricant contamina-
tion, shortening mounting time and
extending maintenance intervals.
Engineered for a
consistent operation
The improvements that come with SKF
super-precision bearings for driven
tools all help extend the bearing service
life, increase uptime and lower the total
cost of ownership. A reliable choice for a
smooth, quiet and environmentally
friendly operation.
Overall benefits:
Increased reliability
Improved productivity

Minimizing friction has been our mission

for more than a century and we use our
experience to meet your every demand
on precision, performance and
productivity.
This series of super-precision bearings
has an optimized internal geometry for
driven tool applications. The design of
the symmetrical inner ring and the
asymmetrical outer ring enables the
bearings to accommodate radial loads,
Low heat generation
Sealed bearings
increase uptime
SKF super-precision angular contact ball
bearings for driven tools are available as
both open and sealed variants. The
sealed bearings are equipped with opti-
mized non-contact seals on both sides
filled with premium grease. They do not
require relubrication. In addition, the

The stand-out value, where the stand-out of the back face
(tb) is practically equal to the stand-out of the front face (tf),
defines the position of the side face of the inner ring with
respect to the side face of the outer ring under measuring
load F, which is equal to the desired preload class (fig. 1). The
values (tb) and (tf) are close to zero when the measuring load
is equivalent to the preload desired.
