Product Overview: The 22226 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22226 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity, double-row, self-aligning bearing engineered to withstand the most demanding industrial conditions. With its principal dimensions of 130mm Bore Diameter, 230mm Outer Diameter, and 64mm Thickness, this bearing is a formidable component in heavy machinery. As part of our 22200 Series, it is specifically designed to handle very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. The unique internal design, featuring two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, allows it to accommodate shaft deflection and misalignment between the shaft and housing.
Our 22226 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards, ensuring exceptional performance, reliability, and service life in harsh environments. They are a critical component in our comprehensive range of Spherical Roller Bearings, trusted by industries for their robust construction and superior load-carrying capabilities. Whether for mining, construction, or manufacturing, this bearing provides an effective solution for challenging applications.
