Product Overview: The 22332 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22332 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component designed to withstand the most demanding industrial environments. With principal dimensions of 160mm Bore Diameter, 340mm Outer Diameter, and 114mm Thickness, this bearing is part of the robust 22300 Series. It features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This unique construction allows the bearing to tolerate significant angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, making it indispensable in applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are a concern. As a key product in our Spherical Roller Bearings collection, the 22332 is engineered for exceptional performance under heavy radial and axial loads in both directions.
Key Features of the 22332 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to handle very high radial and significant axial loads in both directions, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring raceway allows it to accommodate misalignment and shaft deflection, reducing stress on the bearing and increasing service life.
- Robust Double-Row Design: Two rows of barrel rollers provide excellent stability and load distribution for enhanced operational reliability.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Optimized for Harsh Environments: Designed to perform reliably under conditions of heavy loads, shock, vibration, and contamination.
- Tapered or Cylindrical Bore Options: Often available with a tapered bore for mounting with adapter sleeves or a cylindrical bore for direct shaft mounting.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for use in crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, and heavy earth-moving equipment.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Found in calendar rolls, press sections, and other high-load machinery where reliability is critical.
- Metal Processing: Used in continuous casting machines, rolling mills, and other steel manufacturing equipment.
- Wind Energy: Essential for gearboxes and main shafts in wind turbines, where it handles fluctuating heavy loads.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in large-scale power transmission systems.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propulsion systems, cranes, and winches that operate in challenging conditions.
- Large Fans and Blowers: Supports heavy rotating assemblies while accommodating potential shaft deflection.
