Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row, combination radial and thrust bearings. They use a spherical or crowned roller as the rolling element. The outer ring contains a spherical race which allows for some misalignment of the shaft and housing. Spherical roller bearings are unequalled in their capacity for high loads and tolerance to shock loads, but have limited speed capabilities. They perform consistently, even under conditions of extreme speed, application-specific stress, and marginal lubrication. The cage of a spherical roller bearing provides high dimensional accuracy and functionality. According to some estimates, spherical roller bearings have twice the running life of conventional bearings. |
Products & Services Related to Spherical Roller Bearings
Angular Contact Bearings
Angular contact bearings are designed so that a contact angle between the races and the balls is formed when the bearing is in use.
Ball Bearings, All Types
Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. Ball bearings types include radial ball bearings (deep groove and angular contact) and thrust ball bearings.
Insert Bearings
Insert bearings and wide inner ring bearings mount to shafts via setscrews or locking collars.
Miniature Bearings and Instrument Bearings
Miniature bearings and instrument bearings carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance in a small envelope design. These types of bearings are single row ball bearings available in up to 1 1/8" outer diameter (OD) sizes
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings are designed for radial load applications where a low profile is desired.
Roller Bearings
Roller bearings are used in rotary applications to replace sliding movement with low friction, rolling motion. The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered.
