Product Overview: The 23048 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23048 is a high-capacity Spherical Roller Bearing designed for the most demanding industrial applications. With key dimensions of 240mm bore diameter, 360mm outer diameter, and 92mm thickness, this bearing is a crucial component in heavy machinery. As part of the 23000 Series, it features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway. This innovative design allows the bearing to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection without compromising performance, making it indispensable in environments where precision alignment is challenging.
Engineered to support very heavy radial and substantial axial loads in both directions, the 23048 bearing ensures exceptional reliability and a long service life. Its robust construction makes it a preferred choice for industries facing harsh operating conditions. Explore our comprehensive range of Spherical Roller Bearings to find the ideal solution for your heavy-duty rotational needs.
Key Features of the 23048 Bearing
