Product Overview: The 24140 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 24140 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With core dimensions of 200mm Bore Diameter, 340mm Outer Diameter, and 140mm Thickness, this bearing is part of our robust 24100 Series and the broader Spherical Roller Bearings collection. Its design features two rows of symmetrical barrel-shaped rollers in a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection. This inherent self-aligning capability makes the 24140 an essential solution for machinery operating under heavy radial and axial loads in harsh environments where perfect alignment is challenging to maintain.
Key Features of the 24140 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to handle very high radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions.
- Excellent Misalignment Compensation: The internal design automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress and wear.
- Robust Double-Row Design: Features two rows of barrel rollers for maximum load distribution and operational stability.
- High-Durability Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and longevity under extreme conditions.
- Optimized Internal Geometry: Reduces friction and heat generation, leading to more efficient operation and a longer service life.
- Cylindrical Bore: Designed for a straightforward press fit onto a cylindrical shaft seating.
Common Applications
