What Are TIMKEN Self-Aligning Bearings?
Also known as spherical roller bearings, self-aligning bearings are specifically engineered to handle high radial loads, moderate axial loads, and misalignment due to shaft deflection or improper mounting. TIMKEN’s self-aligning bearings excel in environments where other bearings would fail—offering reduced friction, extended service life, and enhanced efficiency.
With over a century of bearing innovation, TIMKEN has become synonymous with engineering excellence, offering self-aligning bearings that optimize machinery performance across multiple industries.
Key Benefits of TIMKEN Self-Aligning Bearings
✔️ Self-Alignment Capability – Automatically compensates for shaft misalignment and housing deflection
✔️ Robust Load Handling – Supports both dynamic and static loads with ease
✔️ Durable Construction – Precision heat-treated steel resists fatigue, wear, and high temperatures
✔️ Low Friction, High Efficiency – Reduces power loss and improves system performance
✔️ Extended Maintenance Intervals – Keeps your equipment running longer, with less downtime
