Spherical Roller Bearing

Overview

Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning bearings designed to handle heavy loads while accommodating misalignment, shaft deflection, and thermal expansion. These bearings feature an outer ring with a spherical raceway and two rows of rollers with a common spherical raceway on the inner ring. The unique design allows the bearing to self-align, making it suitable for applications where shaft misalignment or deflection is likely to occur, or where mounting surfaces are not precisely aligned.

Features

• Self-aligning capability accommodating misalignment up to 2 degrees
• Extremely high radial load capacity for heavy-duty applications
• Excellent shock and vibration resistance in harsh operating conditions
• Compact design with high load-to-size ratio
• Extended service life with proper lubrication and maintenance

Applications

• Heavy industrial equipment including crushers and conveyors
• Paper mill and steel mill machinery
• Mining equipment operating in harsh environments
• Wind turbine main shaft and gearbox applications
