If your requirements are not met from our standard range of bearings, we would be pleased to offer a bespoke product design to suit your particular requirements.
SK Bearings have developed thousands of innovative products over the last 50 years. This is particularly true of landmark projects where new approaches frequently present novel challenges. For example, our specialized products are used in the Channel Tunnel and the Thames Barrier.
It is important to note that the majority of the data provided in our publications must necessarily be illustrative and may be subject to a variety of other variables (such as rotational requirements).
There is a great deal of flexibility across our product range (for instance to include holes and slots for holding down bolts, providing additional movement etc). It is also often possible to combine multiple arrangements of bearings to meet particular requirements.
However, because of the grave repercussions which could follow if the wrong type of bearings are used, we strongly recommend that specifiers check that the products are suitable for their intended purpose with our Technical Department. We offer this service free of charge.
