Product Overview: The 23160 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23160 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. With core dimensions of 300x500x160mm, this bearing is a prominent member of our 23100 Series within the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its defining feature is the ability to accommodate severe misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it indispensable for applications with shaft deflection or mounting errors. The design incorporates two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows for angular self-alignment while handling extremely high radial and axial loads in both directions.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 23160 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards, providing unparalleled reliability and operational longevity. These bearings are the backbone of heavy machinery, offering smooth, low-friction performance under intense pressure and challenging conditions.
Key Features of the 23160 Bearing
- Superior Misalignment Compensation: The spherical internal design automatically corrects for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and adjacent components.
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: Engineered with two rows of barrel rollers to support very high radial loads and significant axial loads from either direction.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and performance under shock loads.
- Optimized Roller Design: The roller profile is designed to distribute loads evenly, minimizing stress peaks and extending the bearing's service life.
- Low Operating Friction: Precision engineering ensures minimal friction and heat generation, leading to more efficient operation and reduced energy consumption.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be mounted on either a cylindrical or tapered shaft (using an adapter or withdrawal sleeve), providing installation flexibility.
Common Applications of 23160 Bearings
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in crushers, vibrating screens, and conveyor systems where heavy loads and misalignment are common.
