Product Profile of Industrial Spherical Roller Bearings
Industrial Spherical Roller Bearings are bearings that permit angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions. These Bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that must move not only rotationally, but also at an angle. These Bearings can be of a hydrostatic or mechanical construction. The Industrial Spherical Roller Bearings consist of an outer ring and an inner ring and a locking feature that makes the inner ring captive within the outer ring in the axial direction only.
Key Features of Industrial Spherical Roller Bearings
- Is a bearing that permits angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions
- Support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that must move not only rotationally, but also at an angle
- Can be of a hydrostatic or mechanical construction
- Consists of an outer ring and an inner ring and a locking feature that makes the inner ring captive within the outer ring in the axial direction only
- The outer surface of the inner ring and the inner surface of the outer ring are spherical and are collectively considered the raceway and they slide against each other, either with a lubricant a maintenance-free or they incorporate a rolling element such as a race of ball-bearings, allowing lower friction
- Used in countless applications, wherever rotational motion must be allowed to change the alignment of its rotation axis
