Product Overview: The 23040 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23040 spherical roller bearing is a robust and high-capacity component, designed for demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our extensive 23000 Series Spherical Roller Bearings, it features a 200mm bore diameter, a 310mm outer diameter, and an 82mm thickness. This bearing is engineered to accommodate very heavy radial loads, as well as heavy axial loads in both directions. Its inherent self-aligning property allows it to compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, which can arise from shaft deflection, mounting errors, or frame distortion.
Our 23040 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, ensuring exceptional reliability and longevity even in the most challenging operational environments. The unique design with two rows of symmetrical rollers, a common spherical outer ring raceway, and two inner ring raceways ensures optimal load distribution and reduced friction. This makes the 23040 bearing an ideal choice for machinery operating under harsh conditions, contributing to enhanced operational efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. Explore our comprehensive selection of spherical roller bearings to find the perfect solution for your heavy industrial needs.
