Product Overview: The 22315 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22315 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. With principal dimensions of 75mm Bore Diameter, 160mm Outer Diameter, and 55mm Thickness, this bearing is part of our robust 22300 Series within the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its defining feature is the ability to accommodate severe misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it indispensable for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are a concern. The bearing's internal design, featuring two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, ensures it can handle very heavy radial and significant axial loads in both directions.
As a specialist supplier, we ensure our 22315 bearings are manufactured to precise industry standards, providing exceptional durability and reliable performance. This bearing is a cornerstone component in heavy machinery, offering smooth operation and extended service life under extreme conditions.
Key Features of the 22315 Bearing
- Superior Misalignment Compensation: The spherical internal geometry allows the bearing to self-align, compensating for angular errors between the shaft and housing.
- High Radial and Axial Load Capacity: The double-row roller design is optimized to support extremely heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Robust and Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional fatigue resistance and longevity in harsh environments.
- Optimized for Heavy-Duty Applications: Specifically designed to perform reliably under conditions of heavy loads, shock, and vibration.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Available with either a cylindrical bore for standard press fits or a tapered bore for mounting with an adapter sleeve on plain shafts.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering of the rollers and raceways minimizes operational friction, reducing heat generation and improving efficiency.
Common Applications of 22315 Bearings
- Mining and Construction: Widely used in rock crushers, vibrating screens, conveyor systems, and heavy-duty gearboxes.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for rollers, press sections, and other machinery operating under high loads and wet conditions.
- Steel Manufacturing: Deployed in continuous casters, rolling mill stands, and conveyor rollers where reliability is critical.
- Industrial Transmissions: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in large industrial gearboxes.
- Wind Turbines: Used in the main shafts and gearboxes of wind energy systems to handle fluctuating, heavy loads.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propulsion systems, winches, and cranes that operate in challenging marine environments.
- Power Generation: Found in large fans, blowers, and pulverizers within power plants.
