Product Overview: The 23038 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23038 bearing is a high-performance, robust component belonging to our comprehensive 23000 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. With impressive dimensions of 190mm bore diameter, 290mm outer diameter, and 78mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to excel in demanding industrial environments. Its primary design advantage lies in its two rows of barrel-shaped rollers, which are free to swivel within a common spherical outer ring raceway. This unique geometry allows the 23038 bearing to accommodate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, which can arise from mounting errors, shaft deflection, or foundation settlement.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 23038 spherical roller bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, providing exceptional reliability and a long service life. This type of bearing is particularly well-suited for applications involving heavy radial loads, moderate axial loads in both directions, and environments prone to shock loads or vibrations. Its inherent self-aligning capability makes it an indispensable component for maintaining smooth, efficient operation and reducing stress on other machinery parts in complex systems. Explore our full range of spherical roller bearings to optimize your industrial machinery's performance.
Key Features of the 23038 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Designed to carry exceptionally heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it ideal for robust applications.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, preventing premature wear and extending bearing life.
- Robust Roller Design: Features two rows of barrel-shaped rollers that provide excellent shock load resistance and distribute loads effectively.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, ensuring superior wear resistance and long-term reliability even under harsh conditions.
- Low Friction Operation: Engineered to minimize friction, which reduces heat generation and contributes to extended service intervals.
- Vibration Tolerance: Performs reliably in applications exposed to high levels of vibration and shock, maintaining stability and operational efficiency.
