Spherical ball bearings
SKF Spherical ball bearings are designed to deliver high performance under demanding conditions, making them the optimal choice for industrial machinery, heavy vehicles and other equipment exposed to shock, vibration and varying loads.
Spherical roller bearings are designed with two rows of balls, a common spherical raceway in the outer ring and two deep and continuous grooves in the inner ring.
These bearings are known for their durability, precision and long life, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Spherical ball bearings are a good type of bearing when there are inclinations between the shaft and housing, and can be available sealed or in an open design.
Benefits and features
- Self-adjusting function:
Handles angular errors and shaft misalignment without affecting performance, making them ideal for applications with flexible installations. - High load capacity:
Withstands both radial and axial loads, making them versatile and reliable in demanding environments. - Long service life and durability:
Designed to withstand high temperatures and demanding operating conditions without losing efficiency, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. - Low friction:
Reduces energy loss and heat generation, which contributes to more energy-efficient operation and increased cost-effectiveness. - Corrosion resistance:
Made with materials and finishes that protect against rust and chemical degradation, ideal for humid and aggressive environments. - High rotation precision:
The design standard enables stable and precise operation even at high speeds, resulting in better productivity and machine performance. - Easy installation and maintenance:
Designed for quick installation and replacement, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance.
