Product Overview: The 23218 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 23218 bearing is a high-performance component from our robust 23200 Series Spherical Roller Bearings. Designed with a bore diameter of 90mm, an outer diameter of 160mm, and a thickness of 52mm, this bearing is engineered to withstand heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. Its unique design features 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 allows for inherent self-alignment, making it ideal for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment between the shaft and housing bore is expected.
As a crucial element in demanding industrial machinery, the 23218 spherical roller bearing provides exceptional reliability and extended service life. Our selection of spherical roller bearings are manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring superior performance, reduced friction, and excellent wear resistance. These bearings are indispensable in operations requiring robust rotational support under challenging conditions, helping to maintain machinery efficiency and minimize downtime.
