Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical roller bearings can support exceptional misalignment and possess a load-carrying capability that is superior to most other bearing types; thus, they can be applied in numerous industrial applications under various demanding conditions. Their robust design allows them to function reliably under unfavourable conditions.

Our spherical roller bearings

Single row spherical roller bearings

Single row spherical roller bearings are essential components in various heavy-duty applications where high load capacity and misalignment tolerance are critical.
Double row spherical roller bearings

Two rows of symmetrical rollers gives this bearing superior load carrying capacity, whilst the convex shape of the rollers provides self-aligning capabilities.
Spherical roller thrust bearings

Spherical roller thrust bearings are essential components in applications where high axial load capacity and misalignment tolerance are critical.

What are spherical roller bearings?

Spherical roller bearings consist of two rows of spherical rollers, between an inner and an outer raceway. These rollers reduce friction between moving surfaces, whilst providing a high load carrying capacity. They are suitable for use at low to medium speeds.

It is also important to ensure that you use the right seal with your spherical roller bearing, as ineffective sealing is a common cause of premature bearing failure.

Benefits of spherical roller bearings include:

Spherical roller bearings deliver numerous advantages, including:

Self-aligning properties that allow them to accommodate misalignment without compromising performance.
High load-carrying capacity for both radial and axial loads, making them suitable for heavy-duty machinery.
Extended service life due to their ability to handle demanding conditions and reduce wear.
Low friction coefficients that contribute to energy efficiency and smooth operation.
Durable, robust design engineered to withstand shock loads, vibration, and harsh working environments.

Applications of spherical roller bearings

Spherical roller bearings are crucial in a wide range of industries where reliability and heavy load capacity are essential. Key sectors include:

Mining and Quarrying: Withstand the heavy loads and abrasive environments typical in these industries.
Construction: Offer durability and stability for heavy machinery used in construction projects.
Material Handling: Ensure smooth and efficient operation in conveyors, cranes, and other material transport systems.
Railway: Provide long-lasting performance for rail trains and locomotives under high stress.
Energy: Reliable in demanding energy sectors, including wind turbines and power generation.
Metals: Handle the intense loads and continuous operations in metal processing.

What other types of spherical roller bearings are available?

In addition to standard Spherical Roller Bearings, the following types are also available:

Vibratory Screen Spherical Roller Bearings for the demanding requirements of heavy-duty equipment

Solid Oil Spherical Roller Bearings for use in dry, humid or chemical applications, or where forces expel normal lubrication.

Sealed Spherical Roller Bearing protect against solid contaminants such as dirt and also moisture.
