Double-row spherical roller bearings are suitable for large radial loads. They can also take some axial loads in either direction. They are usable for medium speeds. Double-row spherical roller bearings have spherical raceways in the outer ring for both rows of rollers. Therefore, they are self-aligning within wide limits and can accept minor misalignment.
Spherical roller bearings are very often used for heavy loads and in cases where their self-aligning is an advantage.
Bearing series: 213..., 222..., 223..., 230..., 231..., 232..., 239..., 240..., 241...
The spherical shape of the raceway in the outer ring enables the misalignment of the rings and ensures balanced distribution of load over the rolling elements even under the slightest shaft deflection, or even when the alignment of the bearing beds is not kept.
These unique parameters enable spherical bearings to:
