Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical roller bearings (SRBs) are designed to handle high radial and axial loads as well as misalignment during high-speed rotations. They consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a spherical rolling element between them. The spherical shape of the rolling element enables the bearing to compensate for misalignment and distribute the load evenly, resulting in reduced friction and wear. SRBs come in several designs, including standard, sealed, and split types, and are commonly used in heavy-duty applications such as mining, construction, and paper manufacturing, as well as in automotive and aerospace industries. They are critical components in machines and equipment where high reliability and performance are essential.
