Product Overview: The 29417 Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing
The 29417 is a high-capacity Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing, meticulously engineered to handle extreme axial (thrust) loads and moderate radial loads simultaneously. With key dimensions of 85x180x58mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a crucial component in heavy-duty industrial machinery. As part of the robust 29400 Series, it features a unique design with specially contoured rollers and raceways. This allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment relative to the housing, a common issue in large-scale applications. The self-aligning capability prevents edge stresses, ensuring uniform load distribution and extending the bearing's service life. Explore our comprehensive range of Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings to find the ideal solution for your demanding operational requirements.
Key Features of the 29417 Bearing
- Exceptional Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to support very high thrust loads, making it ideal for heavy vertical shaft applications.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical raceway in the housing washer compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress and wear.
- Accommodates Radial Loads: Capable of supporting moderate radial loads in addition to its primary axial load function.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for superior strength, durability, and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Separable Design: The shaft washer, housing washer, and roller/cage assembly can be mounted separately, simplifying installation and inspection.
- Optimized Roller Profile: The asymmetrical rollers ensure optimal load distribution along their length, minimizing friction and heat generation.
Common Applications of 29417 Bearings
- Heavy Industrial Gearboxes: Used in large gear drives where high axial forces are present.
- Extruders and Injection Molding Machines: Provides reliable support for the screw shafts against high back pressures.
- Vertical Shafts: Essential for applications such as vertical pumps, centrifuges, and large rotating tables.
- Cranes and Hoists: Supports the heavy loads encountered in crane hooks and swivels.
- Marine Propulsion Systems: Used in ship propeller shafts and thrusters to manage immense axial forces.
- Pulp and Paper Processing: Ideal for machinery like refiners and grinders that operate under heavy loads.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Found in rock crushers, pulverizers, and tunnel boring machines.
