Product Overview: The 24028 Spherical Roller Bearing
The 24028 Spherical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With core dimensions of 140mm Bore Diameter, 210mm Outer Diameter, and 53mm Thickness, this bearing is part of our robust 24000 Series. As a leading example of Spherical Roller Bearings, it is specifically designed to handle very heavy radial loads and significant axial loads in both directions. Its key feature is the ability to accommodate shaft misalignment relative to the housing, making it indispensable in machinery where shaft deflection or mounting errors are a concern.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards, the 24028 bearing features two rows of symmetrical barrel rollers and a common sphered outer ring raceway. This design allows for angular self-alignment, preventing excessive stress on the bearing and ensuring smooth, reliable operation even under severe conditions. It is a critical component for heavy industries seeking durability and extended service life.
Key Features of the 24028 Bearing
- Superior Load Capacity: Designed with two rows of rollers to manage extremely high radial and heavy axial loads.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer raceway allows the bearing to tolerate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing wear and extending component life.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability, fatigue resistance, and performance in harsh environments.
- Optimized Roller Design: Symmetrical barrel-shaped rollers ensure optimal load distribution along the roller length, minimizing stress peaks.
- Low-Friction Operation: Precision engineering of the rollers and raceways minimizes friction and heat generation, leading to higher operational efficiency.
- Dimensional Stability: Heat-treated to ensure stability and consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.
