Product Overview: The 23232 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23232 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to perform in the most demanding industrial environments. With core dimensions of 160x290x80mm, this bearing is a key part of our 23200 Series within the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This unique construction allows the bearing to accommodate significant shaft deflection and misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it indispensable for heavy-duty applications where perfect alignment is challenging to achieve or maintain.
Built for superior load-bearing capabilities, the 23232 is designed to handle very heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions. As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our spherical roller bearings meet stringent quality standards, providing exceptional durability, reliability, and operational life under severe conditions, including shock and vibration.
Key Features of the 23232 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to support extremely high radial and significant axial loads, making it ideal for heavy-duty machinery.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring raceway allows for compensation of angular misalignment and shaft bending, reducing stress on the bearing and extending service life.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for maximum toughness and resistance to wear, fatigue, and contamination.
- Dual Roller Rows: Features two rows of barrel-shaped rollers that provide excellent load distribution and operational stability.
- Optimized Internal Design: Engineered for low friction and reduced operating temperatures, enhancing efficiency and longevity.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision manufacturing ensures consistent dimensions for reliable fitting and interchangeability.
Common Applications of 23232 Bearings
