Spherical roller bearings 23100 series are self-aligning bearings. This prevents misalignment of the shaft and ensures that the shaft does not need to be adjusted. Spherical roller bearings are also less sensitive to deflection or bending of the shaft. As spherical roller bearings have a combination of design features, they are indispensable in many demanding applications. Spherical bearings are also called self-aligning roller bearings. They have two rollers and a common spherical race. This spherical race is located in the outer ring. An advantage of spherical bearings is that they are not only able to absorb high radial loads, but also axial loads in both directions. The current range of spherical bearings includes a wide range of sizes from various ISO dimension series and also includes special versions, for example for sifters and other related applications.

Spherical roller bearings are the most commonly used components for positioning bearings with tapered holes on cylindrical seats because they can be used for smoothing or stepped shafts. They are easy to install and require no additional position on the axle. When the adapter sleeve is used for a smooth shaft, the bearing can be located at any position on the shaft. When used on the stepped shaft, with the support ring, the bearing can be positioned axially accurately, and it is also easy to disassemble.

Application

23100 series spherical roller bearings are widely used in rolling mill gearbox housings, rolling mill rolls, crushers and other large machinery.
