Product Overview: The 22324 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22324 bearing is a high-capacity, double-row spherical roller bearing engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With dimensions of 120x260x86mm, this bearing is a key component in our 22300 Series and the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its primary design feature is the spherical outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection without compromising performance. This self-aligning capability makes it indispensable in heavy machinery where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging.
Built to handle severe radial and axial loads in both directions, the 22324 is manufactured from high-grade bearing steel to ensure exceptional durability and a long service life. It is the preferred choice for industries requiring robust and reliable rotating components that can operate under extreme conditions, including heavy loads, shock, and vibration. Trust our expertise to provide superior quality bearings that enhance the efficiency and reliability of your equipment.
Features of the 22324 Bearing
- Excellent Misalignment Compensation: The spherical raceway design allows the bearing to self-align, compensating for shaft deflection and mounting errors.
- High Radial and Axial Load Capacity: Engineered with two rows of symmetrical rollers to support very heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from premium, clean steel for superior fatigue resistance and longevity in harsh environments.
- Low-Friction Operation: The roller and raceway geometry is optimized to minimize friction and heat generation, enabling higher operational speeds.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to ensure stability and consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.
- Designed for Heavy-Duty Use: Capable of withstanding shock loads and heavy vibrations common in industrial settings.
