Spherical roller bearings provide dual-directional movement versatility. Its primary function is to reduce friction between the components while allowing misalignment.

Bearings are an essential part of industrial machinery. A bearing's goal is to regulate motion in a moving part and help reduce friction.

Bearings Manufacturing Company is committed to being a world-class provider of modified and manufactured ball and roller bearing products. Because of this, we have worked with all types of roller bearings in many different applications across all industries.

We thought it would be advantageous to create a series of posts that included the main roller bearings types you may need for your projects. This is the second post of the five-part series. In case you missed it, here's the first article—What are Cylindrical Roller Bearings and How are They Used?

The bearings are used in applications prone to misalignment or shaft deflection (bending of the shaft under specific circumstances, such as an axial load). They are known to tolerate the misalignment between the shaft and housing.

Both bearings are designed to withstand high loads; however, sealed bearings benefit from the enclosure that helps extend their service life. A highly effective double-lip seal keeps lubricants in and contaminants out.

A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction and can manage misalignment between the shaft and housing.

These barrel-shaped spherical rollers reduce friction within the bearing and allow the bearing to accommodate angular misalignment.

You can contact a sales rep about your bearing needs or submit a support ticket. We can manufacture, modify, and repair most ball and roller bearings.

"Spherical roller bearings have a wide range of use-cases. They are used in applications where heavy loads, moderate to high speeds, and possible misalignment occur. Examples are off-road vehicles, pumps, mechanical fans, marine propulsion, wind turbines, and gearboxes." [source]
