Product Overview: The 2311 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 2311 bearing is a high-capacity, self-aligning component within our extensive 2300 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. Engineered to withstand heavy radial and axial loads, this robust bearing measures 55mm for its bore diameter, 120mm for its outer diameter, and 43mm in thickness (55x120x43mm). Its distinctive design features two rows of rollers with a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing it to accommodate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, as well as shaft deflections. This self-aligning capability makes the 2311 bearing an ideal solution for demanding industrial environments where precise alignment can be challenging to maintain or where heavy shock loads and vibrations are common.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2311 spherical roller bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards. This guarantees reliable performance, exceptional durability, and a prolonged service life, even under the most arduous operating conditions. The 2311 is crucial for maintaining smooth, efficient operation in a wide array of heavy machinery, offering superior load distribution and reduced stress on surrounding components. Explore our complete range of spherical roller bearings to discover the optimal solution for your heavy-duty applications.
