What is a spherical roller bearing?
 

Spherical roller bearings have two rolling paths in the inner ring and one rolling path in the outer ring. As the name implies, the bearing components have spherical characteristics.

Spherical roller bearings have two rows of rollers, one spherical outer ring rolling path and two inward-sloping roller rolling paths at an angle to the bearing axis. The central point

of the spherical path of the outer ring is located on the bearing axis. Therefore, the bearings are self-adjusting and are not sensitive to shaft misalignment to the seat and shaft

deformation and bending (which may be due to shaft deflection). These bearings are designed to be used for heavy axial loads as well as heavy radial loads in two directions.
 

How does a spherical roller bearing work?
 

The unique design of the roller rolling path is the most distinctive feature of a spherical roller bearing. The inner part of the outer rolling path is made with a concave depression

and the outer part of the inner rolling path has a convex protrusion. Two rows of barrel-shaped rollers by a shelf or shelves that complete the shape of these roller bearings.

The result is a bearing with exceptional radial capacity that can also accommodate axial loads, misalignment or shock, as the bearings are constantly changing the direction

of the spherical path of the outer ring. Unlike many other types of bearings, spherical roller bearings cannot be disassembled.
 

Features of spherical roller bearings:

Spherical roller bearings are more suitable for low to medium speed applications and can perform well in harsh environments. The self-adjusting feature allows this t

ype of roller bearing to accept deviations in not changing the direction of the shaft. In addition to their ability to manage non-compliance,

useful features of spherical roller bearings include

Ability to carry radial and axial loads

    Suitable for low to medium speed applications

    Suitable for applications where shaft misalignment occurs

    Inseparable design

    Suitable for applications with high radial load

    Ability to carry a small amount of axial load in both directions

    Standard bearings that are open and can be sealed on request

    Many distance options

    • Bearings that can be provided in different heat treatments

    Available with steel shelves or machined brass shelves

    Standard bearings rated up to 302 degrees Fahrenheit

    Having a conical hole option

    The area of ​​the lubrication grooves that is available in the outer diameter or inner ring and outer ring

    Bearings produced in the natural tolerance class
