Spherical roller bearings are designed for high load capacity, they are available in various types and sizes. The basic structure is two rows of rollers, a common sphered outer ring raceway and two inner ring raceways inclined at an angle to the bearing axis. The centre point of the sphere in the outer ring raceway is at the bearing axis. Therefore, the bearings are self-aligning and insensitive to misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing.
According to the specific bearing applications, SKF spherical roller bearings are includes the following types, all are available with either a cylindrical or tapered bore.
