Product Overview: The 22322 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22322 is a high-capacity Spherical Roller Bearing designed for the most demanding industrial applications. With its principal dimensions of 110mm bore diameter, 240mm outer diameter, and 80mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to handle heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. As a key component in our 22300 Series, it belongs to a family of robust Spherical Roller Bearings known for their reliability and performance under harsh conditions.
The defining feature of the 22322 bearing is its ability to self-align. The spherical raceway in the outer ring allows it to accommodate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, which can arise from shaft deflection or mounting errors. This intrinsic self-alignment capability prevents edge stresses and ensures a long, trouble-free service life. Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, the 22322 provides exceptional durability and operational stability for heavy machinery.
Key Features of the 22322 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and extending machine life.
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: The double-row roller design is optimized to support extremely high radial loads and moderate axial loads.
- Robust Construction: Made from premium, through-hardened bearing steel for superior strength and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Optimized Internal Design: Features a design that ensures low friction and minimal heat generation, even at high speeds.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to operate effectively across a wide range of temperatures without significant dimensional change.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Available with a cylindrical bore for straightforward press-fit mounting.
