Product Overview: The 22220 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22220 bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. As a key part of our 22200 Series, this Spherical Roller Bearing features a bore diameter of 100mm, an outer diameter of 180mm, and a width of 46mm. Its design includes two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection. This self-aligning capability is crucial for applications where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging, preventing premature wear and extending machinery life.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards, the 22220 bearing is built to handle heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. It is an indispensable part for heavy machinery, ensuring reliability and operational efficiency under severe conditions, including heavy loads, shock, and vibration. Explore our comprehensive range of spherical roller bearings to find the optimal solution for your heavy-duty applications.
Key Features of the 22220 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Design: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress on the bearing and other machine components.
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: The double-row roller design provides excellent capacity for both high radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
- Robust Construction: Made from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and long service life even under harsh operating conditions.
- Optimized for Heavy-Duty Use: Specifically designed to perform reliably in applications involving heavy loads, shock, and vibration.
- Enhanced Lubrication: Typically features a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring to facilitate effective lubrication, reducing friction and heat generation.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision engineering ensures consistent dimensions for easy mounting and interchangeability.
