Product Overview: The 23156 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23156 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With dimensions of 280x460x146mm, this bearing is part of our robust 23100 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings. It is specifically designed to handle very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. Its key characteristic is the ability to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing, which can be caused by shaft deflection or mounting errors. The double-row design with symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway ensures reliable performance under severe operating conditions.
Key Features of the 23156 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer raceway allows the bearing to tolerate angular misalignment, reducing stress and extending its operational life.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered with two rows of rollers to support extremely high radial and considerable axial loads.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity bearing steel with a strong cage, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh environments.
- Optimized Roller Design: The barrel-shaped rollers provide excellent load distribution and minimize friction, even under misalignment.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted directly on a cylindrical shaft or on a tapered shaft using an adapter or withdrawal sleeve.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to operate effectively across a wide range of temperatures without significant dimensional changes.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for heavy machinery such as rock crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor systems.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers, presses, and other equipment exposed to heavy loads and moisture.
- Steel Manufacturing: Essential for continuous casters, rolling mills, and converter drives where reliability is critical.
- Heavy-Duty Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in large industrial transmissions.
- Wind Turbines: Supports the main shaft and gearbox components, withstanding fluctuating loads and environmental stresses.
- Marine Propulsion: Used in propeller shafts and other critical marine applications requiring high load capacity.
- Large Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection while ensuring smooth operation in high-power ventilation systems.
Benefits of Using the 23156 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Uptime: Its ability to handle misalignment and heavy loads prevents premature failures, leading to increased productivity.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: The durable design and self-aligning properties minimize wear and tear, reducing the frequency of replacements and servicing.
- Improved Operational Safety: Provides reliable performance in critical applications, reducing the risk of catastrophic equipment failure.
- High Efficiency: The low-friction design contributes to reduced energy consumption and lower operating temperatures.
- Longevity in Harsh Conditions: Built to withstand shock loads, vibration, and contamination common in heavy industrial settings.
