Spherical Roller Bearings

What are Spherical Roller Bearings?

Spherical Roller Bearings stand out as versatile workhorses in the bearings world, renowned for their ability to support high radial and axial loads while accommodating misalignment. Often referred to as SRBs, Spherical Roller Bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing with a barrel-shaped outer ring raceway, complemented by two rows of barrel-shaped rollers, and an inner ring with two raceways. This design helps eliminate misalignment and offers exceptional load-carrying capacity.

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing
These bearing variants are optimised to support axial loads and are often used in applications where heavy thrust loads are prevalent, such as: automotive transmissions and heavy machinery equipment.

Features of Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical Roller Bearings play a pivotal role across manufacturing, automotive, mining, and aerospace industries.

  • These bearings are built to handle high loads
  • The self aligning feature of the bearings helps the application readjust with minimal friction and therefore minimized misalignment.
  • These bearings have a good heat tolerance and can work even in harsh operating conditions.
  • The bearings are low friction hence have longer shelf life ensuring smooth and reliable machinery performance.

Benefits of Spherical Roller Bearings

  • High Load-Carrying Capacity: Spherical Roller Bearings can support both radial and axial loads in the harshest conditions. This makes the bearings suitable for a wide range of applications, like conveyor systems and crushers.
  • Misalignment Tolerance: The design is so engineered to allow for angular misalignment without compromising performance. This is an important feature especially for those applications with shaft deflection or mounting errors.
  • Durable Construction: Spherical Roller Bearings are built to withstand harsh conditions, including high temperatures, heavy shock loads, and contaminants. This makes the bearings reliable for the long run.
  • Long Service Life: Properly maintained SRBs have a long operational life. This directly implies reduced maintenance and replacement costs.
  • Reduced Friction: Thanks to this feature applications achieve energy efficiency and reduced operating temperatures.
  • Low maintenance: Regular Lubrication minimises friction and prevents premature wear. Regular inspection.helps identify the problems early and proper alignment prevents excessive stress on the component.
