Product Overview: The 22234 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22234 bearing is a high-capacity spherical roller bearing engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. As a key component in our 22200 Series, this bearing features a robust design with dimensions of 170x310x86mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness). Its primary characteristic is the ability to accommodate severe misalignment between the shaft and housing without compromising performance. This is achieved through its two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, making it an indispensable part of our Spherical Roller Bearings collection.
Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel, the 22234 is built to withstand heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. It is the ideal solution for machinery operating under harsh conditions, including heavy loads, vibrations, and potential shaft deflection. Trust in our expertise as a leading supplier of industrial components to provide bearings that enhance the reliability and efficiency of your equipment.
Key Features of the 22234 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the shaft and extending the bearing's service life.
- High Load Capacity: The double-row roller design is optimized to handle substantial radial and axial loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty machinery.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality, clean steel for superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Barrel-Shaped Rollers: Symmetrical barrel rollers ensure optimal load distribution along the roller length, preventing stress peaks and enhancing performance.
- Low-Friction Operation: Precision engineering of the rollers and raceways minimizes operational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to operate reliably across a wide range of temperatures without significant dimensional changes.
Common Applications
