Product Overview: The 29415 Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing
The 29415 is a high-capacity Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing, engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions. As a key component in our 29400 Series, this bearing is specifically designed to handle extremely heavy axial (thrust) loads while also accommodating moderate radial loads. Its standard dimensions are 75mm Bore Diameter, 160mm Outer Diameter, and 55mm Thickness. The defining feature of this bearing is its self-aligning capability, which allows it to compensate for shaft deflection and angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, preventing edge stresses and ensuring a long service life.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 29415 features a robust design with a large number of asymmetrical spherical rollers and specially designed raceways. This construction provides optimal load distribution and low friction, even under combined load conditions. This makes it an indispensable part of heavy machinery across various industries.
