SKF SNW 17X2-15 16 Inch Bearing Adapter

SKF SNW 17X2-15/16 is a complete SNW-series bearing adapter sleeve assembly designed to mount tapered-bore bearings onto smooth, unstepped shafts. It centers on a 2-15/16 inch bore and ships with the S-17 style adapter sleeve plus a matching locknut (N- or AN-series) and a W-series lock washer to lock the sleeve in place and set the bearing’s axial position. When the nut is tightened, the combination provides secure axial retention and straightforward bearing removal without shaft modification. This assembly is typically used in industrial drives, conveyors, and gearboxes where SKF tapered-bore bearings are mounted on standard shafting, enabling reliable alignment and service access. Depending on the bearing series and shoulder geometry, an additional spacer ring may be required to achieve proper seating and prevent axial wear, so consult the appropriate SKF assembly guidelines for your exact configuration.
