SKF COOPER
Since Thomas Cooper invented the split roller bearing in 1907, the Cooper brand has been universally accepted as the benchmark for split roller bearing quality and expertise. Today, SKF Cooper continues to offer the highest quality and widest range of split to the shaft bearings on the market.
The Split Bearing Advantage
The split to the shaft bearing can be built around the shaft without dismantling adjacent equipment or machinery. This means significant reductions in fitting time over solid bearings, with dramatic reductions in downtime and immense savings in plant maintenance.
Reduced Downtime
No need to dismantle adjacent equipment
Easy Installation
Build around the shaft in minutes
Cost Savings
Especially high in trapped locations
Superior Sealing
Concentric sealing for harsh environments

Why Choose Howcroft for Cooper Bearings
Cooper split roller bearings solve a specific problem: bearings that cannot be changed without stripping a shaft line.
We have supplied Cooper split units into conveyor, fan and aggregate applications for years, so we know how the housings, pedestals and seals go together on site. Our advice covers the bearing, its mounting arrangement and the clearance needed on assembly — not just the part number.
Split bearing applications
Specification help on 01, 02 and 03 series units, plus housings, pedestals and seals.
Downtime-first approach
We advise on the fit that gets a line running again, including temporary measures ahead of a planned change.
Bearing engineering support
Part identification from a photo, a dimension or a drawing when the original plate is long gone.
