Quality Spherical Bearings
Spherical roller bearings are more robust than cylindrical roller bearings. They can handle higher axial and radial loads than other bearing types. They're commonly used in heavy-duty applications, including construction, mining and industrial machinery.
Spherical roller bearings consist of four parts:
- The outer ring: The outer ring features a spherical surface that allows the rollers to move sideways.
- The rollers: The curvature of the rollers allows them to handle axial loads. Some bearings have two rows of rollers and are designed for higher axial loads. Those with a single row of rollers are better suited for applications with minimal axial loads.
- The cage: The cage secures the rollers.
- The inner ring: The inner ring features a contact surface with two raceways that the rollers move along.
The bore of a spherical roller bearing can be either cylindrical or tapered. Tapered bores are preferable for applications that require a high rotational speed. They can also handle misalignment, vibrations and heavier loads better than cylindrical bores.
Spherical Roller Bearings vs. Spherical Ball Bearings
Spherical ball bearings feature round, ball-shaped roller elements that contrast with spherical roller bearings' cylindrical rollers. The two bearing types have different applications. Roller bearings are known for handling misalignment better than ball bearings. They can also support heavier loads than ball bearings. However, ball bearings are appropriate for applications that require high speeds, as they can operate faster than roller bearings.
Uses for Spherical Roller Bearings
Spherical roller bearings are often the go-to choice for heavy industry, as they are well-equipped to handle misalignment. Some common applications for spherical roller bearings include:
- Construction equipment
- Mining equipment
- Paper machines
- Wind turbines
- Conveyor systems
