Product Overview: The 23020 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23020 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. As a key part of our 23000 Series, this bearing is designed with two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This unique construction allows the bearing to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection without compromising performance. With dimensions of 100x150x37mm, it is built to handle very heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it an essential part for heavy-duty machinery. Our comprehensive range of Spherical Roller Bearings ensures you can find the perfect solution for your high-load applications.
Key Features of the 23020 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring raceway allows for angular misalignment, compensating for shaft deflection and mounting errors.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered with two rows of barrel rollers, it provides excellent radial load-carrying capabilities, ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Bidirectional Axial Load Support: Capable of accommodating axial loads in both directions, offering versatile performance.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, clean bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and extended service life under harsh conditions.
- Vibration and Shock Resistance: Its design makes it particularly suitable for applications involving heavy vibration, shock loads, and impact forces.
- Optimized Internal Design: Engineered for low friction and reduced operating temperatures, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
