Spherical Roller Bearings w/ Snap Ring - Dimensions
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
Spherical roller bearings are suitable for
low/medium speed applications which involve
heavy or impact loading.
They come with cylindrical or tapered bores and
can be supplied with adapter assemblies as
well as withdrawal sleeves.
Spherical roller thrust bearing
 This bearing comprises of barrel-shaped convex rollers
arranged diagonally. Due to the raceway of its housing
raceway washer being spherical, this bearing is self-
aligning and can allow a certain degree of angle tilt.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
 These bearings are divided into R, RH(R) and
RHA types, which differ in internal structure.
Bearings with a tapered bore can be fit and
removed easily using an adapter assembly or
withdrawal sleeve.
 The ratio of the taper is identical among all
bearing series:
240 and 241 series:          1:30
(supplementary code “K30”)
Others:                               1:12
(supplementary code “K”).
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
Spherical roller bearings are available as
1>>double-row
2>> combination radial and thrust
bearings.
They use a spherical or crowned roller
as the rolling element. The race in the
outer ring is spherical in shape, which
allows for some misalignment of the
shaft and the housing.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
The race in the outer ring is spherical in
shape, which allows for some
misalignment of the shaft and the
housing.
Spherical roller bearings are unequalled
in their capacity for high loads and
their tolerance to shock loads, but
have limited speed capabilities.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
They perform consistently, even under
extreme conditions, such as
application-specific stress and
marginal lubrication.
The cage of a spherical roller bearing
provides high dimensional accuracy
and functionality. According to some
estimates, spherical roller bearings have twice
the running life of conventional bearings.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
Most spherical roller bearings are made of alloy
steels or low-carbon steels. Chrome-plated
products are also available. Some applications
require the use of case-hardened or through-
hardened, high-carbon, bearing-quality steel.
Bore size and outside diameter (OD) are
important specifications to consider when
selecting spherical roller bearings. The bore
size is the bearing's smallest dimension. The
outer diameter includes the bearing housing,
but excludes the flange.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
The R-type spherical roller bearing (two piece finger type) is
contributing to a quiet operation by reducing the vibration.
Our spherical roller bearings are also available with the
following options:
 Machined bronze retainer which is ideal for higher speed operation and
ensures better performance under marginal lubrication conditions.
 Asymmetrical roller design, which reduces sliding friction and has less
tendency for roller skew while operating (R & RR types); this type uses
two sets of convex asymmetrical rollers separated by a central inner
ring rib.
 Symmetrical roller design (RH Type Spherical Roller Bearing) with two
rows of longer symmetrical roller and only a center guide ring instead
of a rib.
 R and RH Type Spherical Roller Bearings are also available with
lubrication holes and grooves, which optimizes lubricant capability.
 Self-alignment feature accommodates up to 2 misalignments.
SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS
There are two basic spherical roller bearing designs.
• R & RR type uses two sets of convex asymmetrical rollers separated by a
center inner ring rib.
• The RH, RHR, and RHA design uses two rows of longer symmetrical rollers
and only a center guide ring instead of a rib.
• The bearing is self-aligning and forgiving to errors of up to 1.5° of
misalignment between the shaft and housing due to shaft bending.
• Spherical bearings can carry radial and axial load in both directions.
• Suitable for applications where there is heavy radial and impact loading
applied.
• The bearing can be manufactured with a cylindrical or taper bore.
• The taper bore bearing is easily mounted with the use of an adaptor
sleeve
• Lubrication grooves and holes can be provided on either the inner or outer
rings.
• Cage types can be pressed steel, machined copper alloy.

SPHERICAL ROLLER THRUST
BEARINGS
Spherical roller thrust bearings,
which can carry a small amount of radial
load, thrust bearings can only carry thrust
loads.
THRUST BEARING – Uses either sphericals
with shaft and housing ring washers for
support of thrust loading only. In thrust
bearings the inner and outer rings are
called shaft and housing washers
respectively.

FEATURES OF SPHERICAL THRUST
BEARINGS
• This bearing uses spherical convex rollers arranged at an angle to the axis
of the bearing
• Due to the rollers and spherical raceways on the washers, some shaft
misalignment can be tolerated.
• This bearing can support radial load up to 55% of the axial load being
carried • Spherical thrust bearings are not suitable for high speed operation
• The cage is a machined copper alloy

MAIN APPLICATIONS
• Vertical motors, deep well pumps, ship propeller shafts, jib cranes, screw
down reducers, and hydroelectric generators .
• It is used on the ouput shaft of the extruder gear box or helical gear box.
