Spherical roller bearings have two rows of rollers, a common sphered outer ring raceway and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. The centre point of the sphere in the outer ring raceway is at the bearing axis. Therefore, the bearings are self-aligning and insensitive to misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection. Spherical roller bearings are designed to accommodate heavy radial loads, as well as heavy axial loads in both directions.

The assortment of our spherical roller bearings is the widest on the market and includes standard bearings and application specific bearings. Almost all spherical roller bearings are available with either a cylindrical or tapered bore. The assortment of standard bearings includes:

• open bearings

• sealed bearings

• bearings for vibratory applications

• Energy Efficient (E2) bearings

The spherical roller bearings assortment on-line constitutes the basic assortment and is only part of the total assortment. For applications where the bearings are subjected to unique operating conditions, we can customize bearings to meet the needs of that particular application. For example, bearings for:

• printing presses, paper mills or coaters in high precision execution

• very arduous operating conditions, e. g. continuous casters

• high temperature applications

• railway vehicles
