Features
Self aligning… suitable for
misalignment
Large diameter rollers
provide high load rating
Mounted internal clearance
is determined by fit and
factory setting… C2, C0(N),
C3, C4
Easy inspection
Repairable

Features
High radial load capability
Separable races - this
facilitates mounting &
dismounting when
interference fits are desired
on inner and/or outer rings
Mounted internal clearance is
determined by fit and factory
setting… C2, C0(N), C3, C4

Quality is determined by
cleanness
Non-metallic inclusions
can limit bearing life
Spall will eventually
occur over non-metallic
inclusions
Load ratings based on
bearing life before spall
occurs
