Product Overview: The 22206 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22206 bearing is a high-capacity, double-row, self-aligning roller bearing engineered to withstand the most demanding industrial applications. As a key component in our Spherical Roller Bearings collection and a part of the popular 22200 Series, this bearing is designed to handle very heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. Its signature feature is its ability to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection, thanks to the spherical raceway in the outer ring. The 22206 is an indispensable component for heavy machinery where precision, reliability, and durability are paramount.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 22206 bearing features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers that automatically adjust to angular misalignment. This design ensures consistent performance and reduces stress on the bearing, leading to a longer operational life. Its robust construction makes it ideal for harsh environments commonly found in mining, construction, and manufacturing.
Key Features of the 22206 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, preventing excessive wear and tear.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions simultaneously.
- Robust Double-Row Design: Features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers for maximum stability and load distribution.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, clean bearing steel to ensure longevity and resistance to fatigue under heavy loads.
- Low Friction Operation: The optimized internal geometry minimizes friction and heat generation, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be mounted with a straight bore or on a tapered shaft using an adapter sleeve like the H 206.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor systems that operate under extreme loads and harsh conditions.
