Product Overview: The 22326 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22326 spherical roller bearing is a high-capacity, robust component designed to perform reliably in the most demanding industrial environments. Part of our extensive 22300 Series Spherical Roller Bearings, this bearing 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. With dimensions of 130mm bore, 280mm outer diameter, and 93mm thickness, the 22326 is engineered to accommodate heavy radial loads, axial loads in both directions, and significant angular misalignment, whether static or dynamic.
Our 22326 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, ensuring superior performance, exceptional durability, and a long service life under challenging operating conditions. They are a critical choice for applications where shock loads, vibrations, and shaft deflections are common, providing a reliable solution for maintaining machinery efficiency and reducing downtime.
