Product Overview: The 22238 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22238 bearing is a high-performance component designed for demanding industrial applications, part of our extensive 22200 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. This robust bearing features a bore diameter of 190 mm, an outer diameter of 340 mm, and a thickness of 92 mm. Engineered with two rows of symmetrical rollers and a common spherical outer ring raceway, it is inherently self-aligning, making it exceptionally tolerant to misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, as well as shaft deflection. This capability ensures reliable operation and extended service life even under severe operating conditions, including heavy radial and axial loads.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 22238 spherical roller bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards. These bearings are indispensable in various heavy machinery, offering superior load-carrying capacity, reduced friction, and outstanding durability. Explore our full range of spherical roller bearings to find the perfect solution for your most challenging industrial needs.
Features of the 22238 Bearing
