Product Overview: The 21312 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 21312 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to withstand severe operating conditions. With dimensions of 60x130x31mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key part of our 21300 Series and the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. It is specifically designed to manage very heavy radial and significant axial loads in both directions. The defining feature of the 21312 is its ability to self-align, accommodating shaft deflection and misalignment between the shaft and housing, which is critical in heavy-duty machinery.
Built for reliability and a long service life, this bearing's robust construction features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers that share a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This design ensures optimal performance even under extreme shock, vibration, and misalignment, making it an indispensable part for demanding industrial applications. As a leading supplier, we provide top-quality industrial parts that meet rigorous standards for performance and durability.
Key Features of the 21312 Bearing
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: Designed with two rows of rollers to handle extremely high radial and considerable axial loads in both directions.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring raceway allows it to compensate for angular misalignment and shaft bending, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and long operational life.
- Optimized Roller Design: Symmetrical barrel rollers ensure optimal load distribution along the roller length, minimizing stress peaks and extending service life.
- Superior Cage Strength: Typically equipped with a strong steel or brass cage to withstand high speeds, acceleration, and vibration.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision-engineered to standard dimensions for interchangeability and reliable performance in a wide range of equipment.
Common Applications of 21312 Bearings
