I'm trying to find SKF bearing information such as the fillet radius for the
housing and shafts. To date I've been pushed thru a membership process with
names and passwords that seems to fail all the time. I have other bearing
catalogs that are easy access. Is there a bearing cross reference that I
can use to avoid SKF and their mystical catalog process?

What site are you looking at because I can access all bearing
information I've looked at so far at http://www.skf.com . Selecting a
bearing gives me a drawing and dimensions including corner radii with no
need to long in.

David: Thanks for the response. I accessed the same site, selected
rolling bearings and input the number I took right off the bearing:
6203/C3. I get a table of numbers referenced to some d, c,e, fs with no
drawing to connect these numbers to the actual bearing. Further when I
selec shaft tolerances, where I would expect to see the fillet radius
information, I get some e7, c6 statements that I can't relate to
thousandsths or any other. I've yet to find the recommended fillet radius
for the 6203 bearing. Can you list the particular path that you took to
get a bearing with a drawing defining the numbering system they are using?
I've down loaded another bearing catalog: MRC Engineering Handbook and the
numbers just jump out at me with minimal searching.

Stuart,

I'm not sure you'll actually find the shaft dimensions but the bearing
details give the min radius for the bearing races so that'll determine
your shaft dims. Regarding getting to the data I just went to where I
normally go which is deep groove ballbearings such as
http://www.skf.com/portal/skf/home/p...&newlink=1_1_7
, click on "dimensions" link and you get a list of bearings, click on
the one you're looking for and you'll get a drawing with details such
as OD, ID, radii etc. As regards the e7, c6 etc do a search for "limits
and fits" as that info pertains to the shaft and housing diameter not
the radius you're looking for, the fits control how the bearing fits its
housing and the shaft it is fitted too, these details effect how the
bearing in held by the shaft and housing and also the internal running
clearances of the bearing.

David: I must be having a software problem. I tried your path and did not
get a drawing, but there was an open space that looked like there might be a
drawing allocated there. We acquired a couple of high speed, high
resolution (64 bit processors) machines that were used to produce some of
the special effects of Star Wars. I have had problems getting some of the
Flash Players to work with the 64 bit processors.
We have another couple of 32 bit computers here. I will have to find some
time to try it on one of those.
Thanks for the help. I don't know if I would have come to this point
without your assistance.

O.K. Looking at the site, you need to both have javascript
turned on (I have it turned off by default, but can turn it on on a
site-by-site basis), and you need to enable "popups" in general for the
site as well. The usual selection of "block unwanted popups" kills what
it offers.

I'm using Opera as a browser on a 64-bit UltraSPARC machine from
Sun, FWIW. Whether you have that kind of control on a site-by-site
basis with your browser I don't know. It appears that you're running
Windows, so I can't predict what you'll get.

Flash (which works fine on the 64-bit UltraSPARC as long as they
don't upgrade the version again) is not needed for this site.

Enjoy,
DoN.

What browsers are the two of you using? I run into this all the time.
