Product Overview: The 23056 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23056 is a high-capacity spherical roller bearing designed for the most demanding industrial applications. With core dimensions of 280mm bore diameter, 420mm outer diameter, and 106mm thickness, this bearing is part of our robust 23000 Series. Engineered with two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers, it can accommodate very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. Its key feature is the ability to handle shaft misalignment relative to the housing, making it indispensable in machinery where deflection or mounting errors are expected. Our 23056 bearings are manufactured to stringent industry standards, ensuring superior performance, reliability, and service life in harsh operating conditions.

Key Features of the 23056 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical raceway in the outer ring allows the bearing to tolerate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress and extending component life.
- High Load Capacity: The two-row roller design provides excellent radial load-carrying capacity and can handle substantial axial loads from either direction.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and longevity under heavy loads.
- Optimized Roller Profile: The rollers are designed to distribute loads evenly, preventing stress peaks at the roller ends and maximizing operational life.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be used with a cylindrical bore for direct shaft mounting or with a tapered bore (using an adapter or withdrawal sleeve) for easy installation on plain or stepped shafts.
- Enhanced Lubrication: Typically features a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring to facilitate efficient relubrication, which is crucial for performance in severe conditions.
Common Applications
- Mining and Quarrying: Ideal for crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor systems that experience heavy shock loads and shaft deflection.
- Construction Equipment: Used in heavy machinery such as excavators, cranes, and cement mixers where robust performance is critical.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for rollers and machinery operating in high-temperature, high-load environments.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts in large-scale industrial transmissions, handling both radial and axial forces.
- Metal Rolling Mills: Withstands the extreme loads and harsh conditions found in steel and aluminum production.
- Wind Turbines: Used in main shafts and gearboxes to manage the immense forces generated during power generation.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Provides durable support for propeller shafts and other critical marine equipment.
Benefits of Using the 23056 Bearing
