Spherical roller bearings combine very high radial capacity with real axial capacity and self-alignment (typically 1-2.5 degrees) - the heavy-duty answer where shafts deflect and housings cannot be aligned perfectly.
Serving paper machines, wind turbines, vibrating screens, marine propulsion and mining equipment.
Process Overview
Spherical roller bearings have two rows of barrel-shaped rollers on a common spherical outer raceway, combining very high radial load capacity with real axial capacity and self-aligning capability — typically 1 to 2.5 degrees of misalignment compensation.
They are the heavy-duty answer for paper machines, wind turbines, vibrating screens, marine propulsion and mining equipment, where loads are heavy, shafts deflect, and housings cannot be aligned perfectly.
