Spherical Roller Bearings
Spherical Roller Bearings are self-aligning bearings designed to handle high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. They consist of an inner ring with two raceways, an outer ring with a spherical raceway, and barrel-shaped rollers held in place by a cage. The spherical shape of the outer raceway allows the bearing to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and the housing, making it ideal for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are common.
Key Features:
Self-Aligning: Can accommodate angular misalignment due to shaft or housing deflections.
Load Capacity: Primarily designed for high radial loads but also capable of handling axial loads in both directions.
Durability: Suitable for heavy-duty applications and environments with shocks or vibrations.
Common Applications: Mining equipment, heavy machinery, conveyor systems, wind turbines, and industrial gearboxes.
Their ability to operate under challenging conditions makes them well-suited for large industrial and mechanical applications.
