Product Overview: The 22208 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22208 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to perform in the most demanding industrial environments. As a key part of our 22200 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings, this bearing is specifically designed to handle very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. Its defining feature is the spherical raceway in the outer ring, which allows it to accommodate shaft misalignment and deflection without compromising performance.
Manufactured to precise industry standards with dimensions of 40x80x23mm, the 22208 bearing ensures reliability and a long service life. Its robust construction makes it an essential part for heavy machinery where durability and operational stability are critical. This bearing's ability to self-align reduces stress on the shaft and housing, preventing premature wear and minimizing maintenance downtime.
