Can accommodate axial, radial and moment loads acting either singly or in combination and in any direction.
They are not mounted on a shaft or in a housing; the rings, which are simply bolted on the seating surface are available in one of three executions:
Without gears
With an internal gear
With an external gear
Plywood case
Spherical roller bearings have two rows of rollers with a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. This gives them an attractive combination of design features making them irreplaceable in many demanding applications. They are self-aligning and consequently insensitive to misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing and to shaft deflection or bending. Spherical roller bearings are leading in design and can, in addition to high radial loads, accommodate high axial loads acting in both directions.
The standard range of spherical roller bearings comprises
open bearings
sealed bearings
bearings for vibratory applications.
