Product Overview: The 23032 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23032 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our 23000 Series of Spherical Roller Bearings, this bearing features principal dimensions of 160x290x80mm. Its design incorporates two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway, which allows it to accommodate significant shaft misalignment and deflection. This self-aligning capability is critical in heavy machinery where perfect alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain, ensuring reduced stress on the machine and extended operational life.
Built to handle severe radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, the 23032 bearing is a reliable solution for industries facing extreme conditions, including heavy shocks and vibrations. As a premier supplier of industrial parts, we provide bearings manufactured to the highest standards, guaranteeing robust performance and durability. Explore our complete range of spherical roller bearings to find the ideal solution for your heavy-duty operational needs.
Key Features of the 23032 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed with two rows of rollers to support very high radial and substantial axial loads.
- Self-Aligning Design: The spherical outer raceway compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, preventing edge stresses.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Enhanced Lubrication: Typically features a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring to facilitate effective relubrication, crucial for longevity in harsh environments.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to operate reliably across a wide range of temperatures without significant dimensional changes.
- Versatile Mounting: Available with either a cylindrical or tapered bore to accommodate various mounting methods, including adapter or withdrawal sleeves.
