Product Overview: The 23226 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23226 is a high-capacity spherical roller bearing designed for the most demanding industrial applications. With its principal dimensions of 130mm bore diameter, 230mm outer diameter, and 64mm thickness, this bearing is part of our robust 23200 Series. It is engineered to handle very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. The key feature of Spherical Roller Bearings like the 23226 is their ability to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing, making them indispensable in machinery where shaft deflection or mounting errors are common.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 23226 features two rows of symmetrical barrel-shaped rollers that self-align within the spherical outer ring raceway. This design ensures optimal performance and durability even under severe operating conditions, including heavy loads, shock, and vibration. It is a vital component for maintaining reliability in heavy industrial equipment.
Key Features of the 23226 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Designed to carry extremely high radial and heavy axial loads, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical raceway in the outer ring allows the bearing to tolerate angular misalignment, reducing stress and extending service life.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Two-Row Roller Design: Features two rows of barrel-shaped rollers to maximize load distribution and operational stability.
- Optimized for Harsh Environments: Capable of performing reliably under conditions of heavy shock loads, vibration, and contamination.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering ensures smooth rotation, which minimizes heat generation and improves energy efficiency.
