Choose this spherical roller bearing from SKF to support heavy loads running in both directions. Its self-aligning design handles misalignment between the shaft and the housing without causing friction or suffering damage. As the unit carries a dynamic load of up to 433kN and a static load up to 490kN at a maximum of 3400rpm, it's ideal for managing very heavy loads and high speeds. This bearing can be used in a modular system, so it lets you create a bespoke setup to suit your needs.

• Open type design means you can grease the bearing without dismantling it
• Steel cage material is corrosion-resistant and withstands the wear and impact experienced in demanding industrial settings

• Aviation industry
• Automotive production
• Manufacturing facilities

Spherical roller bearings have two rings on their inner raceway to accommodate thrust loads. Cylindrical roller bearings handle limited thrust and are better suited to heavy radial loads at high speeds.

A tapered bore bearing like this one reduces friction, which keeps heat to a minimum. It's an ideal choice when you need to transfer loads evenly while rolling.
