Product Overview: The 23024 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23024 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial environments. With core dimensions of 120x180x52mm, this bearing is a key part of our 23000 Series, within the broader Spherical Roller Bearings category. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway. This configuration allows the bearing to accommodate significant angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, making it indispensable in applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are a concern. Built to handle very heavy radial and axial loads in both directions, the 23024 is a reliable solution for heavy machinery.
Key Features of the 23024 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Designed with two rows of rollers to manage extremely high radial and heavy axial loads.
- Excellent Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows for self-alignment, compensating for shaft deflection and alignment inaccuracies.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and wear resistance.
- Optimal Roller Design: Symmetrical barrel rollers ensure optimal load distribution along the roller length, reducing stress peaks and extending service life.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Available with a cylindrical or tapered bore, often mounted using adapter sleeves on smooth or stepped shafts.
- High-Performance Cage: Typically equipped with a strong steel or brass cage to guide the rollers, ensuring stability in high-speed and high-vibration conditions.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor systems that experience heavy shock loads and misalignment.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Essential for machinery like press sections, calendars, and drying cylinders.
- Construction Equipment: Found in heavy vehicles, earthmovers, and large-scale construction machinery.
- Steel Manufacturing: Ideal for continuous casting machines, rolling mills, and other high-temperature, heavy-load applications.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in large industrial power transmission systems.
- Wind Turbines: Supports the main shaft and gearbox components, withstanding fluctuating loads and operational stresses.
- Marine and Offshore: Used in propulsion systems and deck machinery where robust performance is critical.
