Wheel bearings
Nearly 90 million vehicles worldwide are riding on SKF wheel bearings and hub units. That’s more than all other brands combined. SKF offers the broadest range of wheel bearings and hub units in the aftermarket. This includes excellent coverage of Asian models.
SKF pioneered the kit concept, which provides the installer with all the components needed for a complete, safe repair all in one box. Today, SKF kits are still the industry standard, thanks to rigorous production controls and standards.
SKF Hub Bearing Unit 1
Greased and sealed for life, the HBU1 cuts installation time and virtually eliminates problems caused by improper seal handling and bearing clearances. It is often equipped with a seal, on one side of the bearing unit, including an integrated magnetised ABS impulse wheel.
SKF Hub Bearing Unit 2
Combining a double-row ball bearing unit and an integral mounting flange, the HBU2 replaces the function of a separate bearing unit. Sealed for life with induction-hardened raceways, the HBU2 is used with non-driven front or rear wheels.
SKF Hub Bearing Unit 3
Featuring two flanges – one for mounting to the wheel and brake rotor assembly, one for fixing to the suspension – the HBU3 provides a significant simplification in corner design.
SKF X-Tracker®
Delivering car-like handling, comfort, and safety to light-duty trucks, this patented hub unit solution increases bearing capacity and improves hub stiffness by 50% compared to traditional tapered roller bearing units.
Wheel bearing and brake kits
Consisting of a brake drum or brake disc with pre-assembled bearings and components, SKF wheel bearing and brake kits (VKBD) enable faster installation and longer bearing service life.
Pre-assembled to ensure a perfect fit between the bearing and the brake drum or disc, VKBD kits eliminate the risk of mounting a bearing with incorrect clearance or incorrect seal positioning. VKBD kits are available for models such as Renault Scenic II, Renault Vel Satis and Opel Corsa.
