What Are TIMKEN Self-Aligning Bearings? TIMKEN self-aligning bearings are typically spherical roller bearings designed to handle both radial and axial loads while compensating for shaft misalignment. The bearing’s internal design features two rows…

Engineered for Maximum Load and Alignment Flexibility Unlike standard bearings, spherical roller bearings are designed to handle extremely high radial loads and moderate axial loads, even in misaligned or harsh conditions. TIMKEN’s precision engineering ensures…

1. What Are Self-Aligning Roller Bearings? Self-aligning roller bearings, also known as spherical roller bearings, are designed to accommodate misalignment, shaft deflection, and heavy radial loads. They are especially effective in applications where installation errors…

1. Mining & Quarrying Equipment Application Examples: Jaw crushers, vibrating screens, conveyor pulleys, and bucket elevators Mining machinery is constantly exposed to shock loads, contamination, and misalignment. FAG self-aligning roller bearings are designed to…

 What Is Misalignment in Bearings? Misalignment occurs when the shaft and housing are not perfectly aligned. This can happen due to: Shaft bending under load Inaccurate installation Thermal expansion Base…

 What Are Self-Aligning (Spherical) Roller Bearings? Self-aligning roller bearings—also known as spherical roller bearings—are specifically designed to compensate for angular misalignment and shaft deflection while carrying radial and axial loads. This makes them ideal for applications…
