Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that features two rows of barrel-shaped rollers. These bearings are designed to accommodate high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. The inner ring with two raceways and the outer ring with a common spherical raceway provide the ability to accommodate misalignment or shaft deflections.Spherical roller bearings are commonly used in various applications where alignment issues or shaft deflections occur, such as in heavy machinery, mining equipment, paper mills, and vibrating screens. Their design helps in reducing friction and providing smooth operation even under challenging conditions.
