Product Overview: The 23048 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23048 bearing is a robust and high-capacity component within our comprehensive 23000 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. Designed to manage heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions, this bearing is also inherently self-aligning, meaning it can accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, a crucial feature in demanding industrial environments where shaft deflection or mounting errors may occur. With precise dimensions of 240mm Bore Diameter, 360mm Outer Diameter, and 92mm Thickness, the 23048 bearing ensures reliable performance and extended operational life.
Our 23048 spherical roller bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, providing exceptional durability and efficiency. They are engineered with two rows of symmetrical rollers, a common spherical outer ring raceway, and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. This design optimizes load distribution across the rollers, making it an ideal solution for heavy machinery and critical applications requiring superior performance and resilience against misalignment.
Key Features of the 23048 Bearing
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand extremely heavy radial loads and substantial axial loads in both directions, making it suitable for severe operational conditions.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth operation.
- Dual Row Roller Design: Features two rows of symmetrical rollers for optimal load distribution and enhanced performance under various load types.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, providing excellent wear resistance, impact durability, and extended service life.
- Low Friction Design: Optimized internal geometry minimizes friction and heat generation, contributing to higher energy efficiency and longer bearing life.
- Vibration and Shock Absorption: The design inherently allows for superior performance in applications exposed to high levels of vibration and shock loads.
