Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical roller bearings have asymmetrically sphered or barrel shaped rollers. These bearings have two inner ring raceways and a common spherical raceway on the outer ring. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring. The misalignment is possible due to the spherical internal shape of the outer ring and spherical rollers. These bearings are suitable for applications where the shaft relative to the housing bore is prone to angular misalignment.
