Spherical Roller Bearings

Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing designed to accommodate heavy radial and axial loads, as well as misalignment. They consist of an inner and outer ring with barrel-shaped rollers arranged in two rows, allowing them to self-align and compensate for shaft deflections or misalignments. This makes them ideal for applications where high loads and harsh operating conditions are present.

Translink spherical roller bearings are widely used in industries requiring robust performance under demanding conditions. Some applications that use these types of bearings are heavy machinery applications, such as construction, mining and material handling equipment. Also common use of these bearings is made in steel mills and paper mills, where they need to handle high temperatures, heavy loads and misalignment.

When it comes to configurations, Translink spherical roller bearings come with different types of cages, the main ones being steel cage, brass cage and bronze cage. Steel cages in spherical roller bearings are more commonly used in general industrial applications, including gearboxes and heavy machinery, and are more suitable for high-speed applications and environments with shock loads. On the other side, brass cages are more common for high-load applications and high-temperature environments, such as mining, steel mills and paper mills, where bearings are exposed to extreme conditions. For more demanding applications we also offer bronze cage.
