Product Overview: The 23218 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23218 bearing is a high-capacity, double-row spherical roller bearing engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With core dimensions of 90mm bore diameter, 160mm outer diameter, and 52.4mm thickness, this bearing is a key component in our 23200 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This allows the bearing to tolerate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it ideal for machinery where shaft deflection or mounting errors are unavoidable.
Manufactured to exacting standards, the 23218 bearing is built to handle heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its robust construction ensures exceptional reliability and a long service life, even under severe operating conditions involving shock loads and vibration. Trust our expertise as a premier supplier to provide the high-performance components your machinery requires.
Key Features of the 23218 Bearing
