Product Overview: The 22240 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22240 Spherical Roller Bearing is a robust and high-performance component, a key part of our 22200 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. Engineered with a substantial 200mm bore, 360mm outer diameter, and 98mm thickness, this bearing is designed to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. It features two rows of symmetrical rollers, a common spherical outer ring raceway, and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. This unique design provides exceptional capacity for heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions.
A critical characteristic of the 22240 bearing is its inherent self-aligning capability. This allows it to automatically compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, which can arise from shaft deflection, mounting errors, or foundation deformation. This attribute ensures reliable operation and extends the lifespan of both the bearing and the machinery it supports. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our 22240 bearings meet stringent quality standards, delivering superior performance, durability, and a long service life in challenging applications.
