Product Overview: The 22344 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 22344 bearing is a high-performance component within our 22300 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings, designed for exceptionally demanding industrial applications. With precise dimensions of a 220mm bore diameter, 460mm outer diameter, and 146mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to accommodate heavy radial loads, moderate axial loads in both directions, and significant angular misalignment. Its robust design features two rows of rollers, a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 22344 bearings meet stringent industry standards, offering unparalleled reliability and longevity even in the harshest operating conditions. The self-aligning capability makes this bearing ideal for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are anticipated, preventing premature wear and extending machinery lifespan. Explore our comprehensive selection of spherical roller bearings to find robust solutions for your critical industrial needs.
