To overcome misalignment caused by shaft deflection, try this spherical roller bearing from SKF. It's self-aligning, so allows for misalignment between a shaft and its housing without risk of increased friction or a reduced bearing life. Its optimised geometry gives the unit a high dynamic load carrying capacity of 156kN when operating under both radial and axial loads. As it's sealed on boths ends, you'll benefit from reduced grease consumption. This also gives the bearing a lighter carbon footprint and cuts down on its maintenance needs.

• Sealed ends protect against airborne contaminates and keep the bearing running efficiently
• Made from robust bearing metal that's corrosion-resistant and withstands moist operating environments
• Low heat generation helps to keep the operating temperature of equipment cool
• Small outer diameter of 110mm allows for compact and efficient machine design

• Aerospace engineering
• Medical and pharmaceutical industries
• Agricultural machinery
• Automated production lines

Ball bearings have point contact, which means only a small section of each rolling element touches the raceways. Roller bearings have line contact, so their balls make more connection with their raceways. This gives roller bearings higher resistance to shock.
