Product Overview: The 22314 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22314 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity, robust component engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our 22300 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings, it features a 70mm bore diameter, a 150mm outer diameter, and a 51mm thickness. Its design includes two rows of symmetrical barrel-shaped rollers in a common sphered outer ring raceway, which gives it its signature self-aligning capability. This feature allows the bearing to accommodate significant shaft deflection and misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it indispensable in heavy-duty machinery where perfect alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain.
Built to withstand severe operating conditions, the 22314 bearing provides exceptional performance under heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. It is a reliable solution for industries that depend on durable and long-lasting rotating equipment. Explore our comprehensive selection of spherical roller bearings to find the ideal component for your heavy industrial needs.
Key Features of the 22314 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment and shaft deflection, reducing stress on the bearing and extending service life.
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: Engineered with two rows of rollers to handle very heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and reliability under load.
- Optimized Roller Design: Symmetrical barrel rollers ensure optimal load distribution along the roller length, minimizing stress peaks and enhancing performance.
- Low Friction Operation: The internal geometry is designed to reduce friction and heat generation, leading to more efficient operation and lower energy consumption.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Available with either a cylindrical or tapered bore, allowing for mounting with adapter sleeves or withdrawal sleeves on plain or stepped shafts.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Widely used in crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, and heavy earth-moving equipment.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in large-scale industrial transmissions.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential in paper machine rollers, press sections, and other processing equipment where heavy loads and moisture are present.
- Wind Turbines: Used in main shafts and gearboxes to handle the immense and fluctuating loads generated by wind power.
- Metal Rolling Mills: Supports the rollers in hot and cold rolling mills, withstanding extreme temperatures and heavy loads.
- Marine and Offshore: Applied in propulsion systems, winches, and cranes where reliability in harsh environments is critical.
- Heavy-Duty Fans and Blowers: Ensures smooth operation in large industrial ventilation systems that experience high rotational speeds and potential imbalance.
