TIMKEN spherical roller bearings are designed to accommodate radial and axial loads, and they have a self-aligning feature that helps correct misalignment due to shaft deflection. The unique roller design and high-performance materials provide outstanding load-carrying capacity and long-term durability in heavy-duty industrial applications.

Factors to Consider When Choosing TIMKEN Spherical Roller Bearings

1. Load Type and Magnitude

Understanding the load type (radial, axial, or combined) and the magnitude of the load your equipment will experience is crucial in bearing selection.

• Radial loads are primarily handled by the bearing’s rollers.

• Axial loads are handled by the bearing’s raceways.

For high-load applications, consider TIMKEN 24030CJW33, which is ideal for heavy-duty industrial equipment like crushers and mills. It can handle high radial loads while offering excellent axial load capacity.

2. Operating Environment

The environment in which your bearing operates plays a key role in its performance.

• Contaminated environments (dust, dirt, moisture) require sealed bearings to prevent contamination.

• High-temperature operations may need specialized materials or lubrication.

The TIMKEN 22322EMBW33 is designed to operate effectively in harsh environments, offering a seal that keeps out dirt and moisture—ideal for the mining and cement industries.

3. Shaft Misalignment

In real-world operations, shafts can experience deflections that cause misalignment. TIMKEN spherical roller bearings are ideal because they are self-aligning, reducing the negative effects of misalignment.

For example, the TIMKEN 22326CJW33 is a high-performance bearing capable of compensating for up to 3° of misalignment, making it suitable for applications like vibrating screens and heavy-duty fans.

4. Speed and Temperature Range

Consider the operating speed and temperature range when selecting your bearing.

• High-speed applications need bearings with lower friction and optimized clearance.

• High-temperature environments require bearings made with heat-resistant materials and proper lubrication.

The TIMKEN 22218CJW33 is an excellent choice for medium-speed applications, such as gearboxes and pumps, offering reliable performance in temperature ranges up to 120°C (248°F).

5. Bearing Size and Installation Constraints

The physical size of the bearing should fit within the confines of your equipment. Be sure to take measurements for the inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and width to ensure a proper fit.

The TIMKEN 22220KEJW33 model is widely used for a variety of applications, with a standard size that can fit into several industrial machines without requiring custom modifications.
