Product Overview: The 23238 Heavy-Duty Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23238 bearing is an exceptionally robust component designed for the most demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our 23200 Series, this Spherical Roller Bearing features impressive dimensions of 190mm bore diameter, 340mm outer diameter, and 120mm thickness. Its design incorporates two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This construction allows the bearing to accommodate significant angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, making it ideal for applications involving heavy loads, shock, and potential shaft deflection.
Engineered to handle both high radial and axial loads in both directions, the 23238 bearing ensures superior performance and operational reliability. Its internal design minimizes friction and heat generation, contributing to a longer service life even under severe operating conditions. As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality bearings manufactured to precise industry standards, ensuring they meet the rigorous requirements of heavy machinery across various sectors.
Key Features of the 23238 Bearing
