Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical Roller Bearings are used in various applications to ensure a smooth and reliable performance. Their design and geometry enable them to operate at high speeds and limit axial load. Some spherical roller bearings have flanged inner rings, which help facilitate their self-aligning properties. Other types feature a guide channel or groove to guide the rollers and cage in rotation.

Spherical Bearings are manufactured from a variety of materials. These materials include sheet steel, brass, and polyamide. The cages that hold the bearings are generally made from pressed steel or brass, which provides strength and temperature resistance. However, the design of a spherical roller bearing may vary according to its use.

Spherical roller bearings have two rows of rollers in the inner and outer rings. Their raceways are symmetrical, with the center of the outer raceway falling in line with the bearing axis. These features allow spherical roller bearings to withstand large radial loads and tolerate shaft deviation. These bearings are available with straight or tapered bores.

Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that can withstand high operating temperatures and arduous operating conditions. Since they are self-aligning, they can tolerate shaft misalignment without excessive friction or heat. This feature makes them a perfect fit for high radial shock loads.
