Overview:
Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning radial roller bearings with barrel-shaped rollers that operate in two rows on a spherical outer ring raceway. This unique design allows them to accommodate significant misalignment while maintaining exceptional load carrying capacity. They are specifically engineered to handle heavy radial loads, moderate axial loads, and severe operating conditions in demanding industrial applications.
Features of Spherical Roller Bearings
Self-aligning capability compensates for shaft misalignment up to ±3 degrees
High load capacity through optimized roller design and two-row construction
Excellent performance under heavy loads and shock conditions
Symmetrical barrel-shaped rollers ensure smooth operation
Available with cylindrical or tapered bore for different mounting requirements
Effective sealing options for contaminated environments
Suitable for moderate to high speed applications
Benefits of Spherical Roller Bearings
Automatic Alignment Compensation: Eliminates premature failure caused by shaft deflection and misalignment
Exceptional Load Capacity: Handles the heaviest radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions
Robust Performance: Withstands severe operating conditions including shock loads and vibrations
Extended Service Life: Optimized stress distribution and surface finish minimize wear
Reduced Maintenance: Long-lasting performance decreases downtime and maintenance costs
Versatile Application: Ideal for heavy machinery, mining equipment, and industrial gearboxes operating under misalignment conditions
