Product Overview: The 22260 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22260 is a high-capacity Spherical Roller Bearing with principal dimensions of 300x540x140mm. As a key component in our Spherical Roller Bearings collection, and specifically part of the 22200 Series, this bearing is engineered to perform under the most severe operating conditions. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft deflection and misalignment. This intrinsic self-aligning capability makes it indispensable in applications where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging or impossible.
Built for extreme radial loads and considerable axial loads in both directions, the 22260 bearing is a cornerstone of reliability in heavy industrial machinery. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs in demanding environments. As a trusted supplier of industrial parts, we provide bearings that meet rigorous industry standards for performance and durability.
Key Features of the 22260 Bearing
- Exceptional Load Capacity: Designed to carry very high radial and significant axial loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Self-Aligning Design: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment and shaft deflection, reducing stress on the bearing and machinery.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for superior strength, durability, and wear resistance.
- Symmetrical Barrel Rollers: Two rows of rollers provide optimal load distribution and reduce friction, even under misalignment.
- Low Friction Operation: The internal geometry is optimized to minimize friction and heat generation, enhancing operational efficiency and extending service life.
