Product Overview: The 23026 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23026 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to perform in the most demanding industrial environments. With dimensions of 130x200x52mm, this bearing is a key part of our 23000 Series within the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This configuration allows the bearing to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection, making it indispensable for heavy-duty applications where perfect alignment is challenging to achieve or maintain.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards, the 23026 bearing provides exceptional reliability and a long service life under heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. It is an essential component for machinery in sectors such as mining, construction, and manufacturing, ensuring smooth and efficient operation even under extreme conditions. For mounting on a plain shaft, this bearing is often used with an H 2326 adapter sleeve.
Key Features of the 23026 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: The double-row roller design provides excellent capacity for handling very heavy radial and significant axial loads.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress on the bearing and extending machine life.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for maximum durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Optimized Internal Design: Engineered for low friction and minimal heat generation, ensuring efficient operation.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to remain stable across a wide range of operating temperatures.
- Tapered Bore Option: Commonly available with a tapered bore (suffix K) for secure mounting with adapter or withdrawal sleeves.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, and grinding mills that experience heavy loads and shock.
- Pulp and Paper Industry: Ideal for paper machine rollers, press sections, and other high-load rotating equipment.
- Construction Machinery: Found in heavy equipment like excavators, cranes, and cement mixers.
- Steel Manufacturing: Essential for continuous casters, rolling mill stands, and conveyor systems.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in large-scale industrial transmissions.
- Wind Turbines: Used in the main shafts and gearboxes of wind power generation systems.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for propulsion systems, winches, and cranes where reliability is critical.
Benefits of Using the 23026 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: Its ability to handle misalignment and heavy loads prevents premature failures and costly downtime.
- Extended Service Life: The durable design and high-quality materials ensure long-term performance even in harsh operating conditions.
