Spherical Roller Bearing

A spherical roller bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that comprises inner and outer ring raceways and spherical rollers. These bearings are designed to accommodate high radial loads and axial loads in both directions. The spherical shape of the rollers enables them to adjust to misalignment or shaft deflections, making them suitable for applications where shaft misalignment or housing deflection may occur.

One of the key features of spherical roller bearings is their self-aligning capability, which allows them to operate smoothly even when shafts are misaligned. This self-aligning feature helps reduce wear and prolong bearing life by minimizing stress on the rollers and raceways. Additionally, spherical roller bearings are commonly used in heavy-duty applications, such as mining, construction, and steel manufacturing, where high loads and harsh operating conditions are prevalent.
