Ritbearing Blog Three Industries That Can Benefit from Spherical Roller Bearings

If you're an engineer in the continuous casting, material handling, or oil & gas industries, you know the bearings you choose must be able to handle extreme conditions, keep your equipment as productive as possible, and deliver optimal performance.Spherical roller bearings can withstand the most demanding conditions and applications where severe misalignment exists, whether from mounting or shaft deflection. They are self-aligning in the outer ring based upon the curvature of the raceway and rolling element, allowing full capacity loading despite shaft deflection.Spherical Roller Bearings Are Dimensionally Stable and Wear ResistantSpherical roller bearings maintain dimensional stability and resist wear even in the face of constant vibration, misalignment, and shock loads. They are designed to accommodate heavy radial loads, as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. Low- to medium-speed applications are optimal when integrating the spherical roller bearing into your product solution.Ritbearing supplies a number of non-separable standard spherical roller bearing models, and can deliver custom engineered bearings if specialty solutions are needed.For your hard-working food processing, material handling and oil & gas equipment, our product specifications include:Standard bearings are provided as open; sealed bearings can be made available upon requestMany clearance options to choose from (C0-C5)Bearings can be offered in different heat treatments (S0-S4)Standard bearings rated up to 302o FPrimarily supplied with either a steel cage or a machined brass cageTapered bore available (K)Lubrication grooves area available on either the outside diameter (W33) or the inner ring and outer ring (W513)Bearings are manufactured in normal tolerance classWhether you need steel mill bearings, material handling bearings, or oil and gas bearings, spherical roller bearing may be your solution.
