Tapered roller bearings
Spherical roller bearings handle heavy radial loads while compensating for misalignment. They are ideal for demanding applications with shaft deflection or angular movement.
These bearings use barrel-shaped rollers and spherical raceways that allow for automatic self-alignment. This means they can accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing without compromising performance or service life — making them ideal for heavy-duty and harsh environments.
Spherical roller bearings offer excellent radial load capacity and can also support moderate axial loads in both directions. They are commonly used in suspension systems, bearing housings, gearboxes, crushers, conveyors, and industrial machinery exposed to vibration, flexing, or shaft misalignment.
They come in single- or double-row versions, with open or sealed designs, and various cage materials depending on the application's speed, load, and lubrication needs.
Typical applications and features:
-
Self-aligning under angular misalignment or shaft deflection
-
High radial load capacity with moderate axial support
-
Rugged design with barrel-shaped rollers
-
Available in open or sealed configurations
-
Used in heavy equipment, housings, suspensions, and industrial drives
At Sanders Parts, we supply spherical roller bearings engineered for long-lasting durability and flexibility — especially when conditions are less than perfectly aligned.
