Part Number & Cross Reference

How do I identify the exact SKF bearing I need?

You can search our catalogue of 20,000+ SKF models by part number, boundary dimensions or application. If you do not have a part number, send us a drawing or even a photo of the old bearing and we will identify it for you.

Typical fast-moving series include 6xxx / 62xx / 63xx deep groove, 22xx / 23xx self-aligning, 7xxx angular contact, NU / NJ / NUP cylindrical, 302xx / 322xx tapered, 222xx / 223xx spherical roller and 511xx / 512xx thrust bearings.

Can you cross-reference other brands to SKF?

Yes. Our cross-reference service is free. We can interchange part numbers from FAG, NSK, NTN, TIMKEN, INA, IKO, Koyo and Nachi to the exact SKF equivalent.

Boundary dimensions are confirmed before we reply, so the SKF model you receive fits the same position as the original.

Which product ranges are covered besides ball and roller bearings?

The catalogue also includes needle roller bearings, slewing bearings, split bearings, Y-bearing units, split plummer block housings (SNL and SNG), adapter and withdrawal sleeves, linear guides, ball screws, seals and lubricants.

Stock & Quotation

How accurate is the stock information?

The catalogue is synchronised with our live warehouse stock and updated daily. Every listed model shows the available quantity and the warehouse location, so you can plan delivery before you order.

How fast will I receive a quotation?

We reply with price, stock and lead time within 4 working hours. To speed things up, include the part number (or drawing / photo), the quantity and your destination.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Our minimum order quantity is low and carries no penalty. Whether you are a maintenance team replacing a single bearing or a reseller replenishing fast-moving part numbers, you can order the quantity you actually need.

Packaging & Traceability

How are the bearings packed?

Every order uses secure, standardised packaging designed to protect the bearing during storage and transport.

Can each bearing be traced?

Yes. Each single bearing carries a batch traceability code, so you can record and follow it in your maintenance or resale documentation.

Technical Documentation

What technical documents can I request?

On request we supply:

  • Technical datasheets
  • CAD drawings
  • Mounting instructions and guides
Can you confirm dimensions, tolerance and clearance data?

Yes. Dimension and tolerance lookup is part of the catalogue service, and clearance data can be confirmed together with your quotation. This is especially useful for machine builders and repair shops that need to match an existing fit.

Samples & Urgent Shipment

Do you supply sample quantities?

Yes. Sample quantities are supported, so you can verify fit and quality before placing a larger order. Contact us with the part number and the quantity you need.

Can you ship urgently if a machine is down?

Urgent air shipment is supported for in-stock models. Tell us it is urgent when you send the part number, and we will reply with stock, price and the fastest lead time available.

Still looking for the right SKF part number?

Send us a part number, a drawing, or even a photo of the old bearing. We will identify it and reply with price, stock and lead time within 4 working hours.
