SKF gives Cooper split bearings a new look

The change from the current Cooper product brand and identity to the new SKF Cooper dual product brand and identity will begin 1st November 2018, and cover all products made by SKF Cooper. This will be a step by step implementation during the end of 2018 and into 2019, therefore customers will see the changes gradually over time as to cover all product ranges.

Key changes will be the housing branding, product name plates, packaging and labels, component markings as well as the blue housing and cartridge paint colour.

Customers can rest assured that the changes are only visual and do not in any way impact the product's technology or performance.

SKF Cooper products will continue to complement the growing SKF portfolio for the marine, mining, quarrying, construction and energy sectors. In addition to the brand name change, the channels to market for SKF Cooper products, including responses to customer enquiries, product supply and after-sales support, will be handled via the SKF sales office in Luton.

SKF Cooper split roller bearings can be fitted, removed and inspected without having to dismantle surrounding equipment, providing savings in terms of reduced maintenance and downtime. The products include both split cylindrical roller bearings and split double row tapered roller bearings, the latter with the ability to take axial loads in either direction. Both are housed and sealed in special swivel cartridges, which are suitable for mounting in pedestal or flanged outer housings.
