One of the key features of spherical roller bearings is their ability to handle both radial and axial loads simultaneously, making them highly versatile in various applications. The outer ring of a spherical roller bearing has a spherical raceway surface, while the inner ring has two raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. This design allows the bearing to accommodate significant misalignment or shaft deflection without causing undue stress on the bearing components. Additionally, spherical roller bearings are available with various cage designs and internal geometries to suit different operating conditions and performance requirements. Overall, these bearings offer high load-carrying capacity, long service life, and low maintenance requirements, making them essential components in many industrial applications.
