TIMKEN Self-Aligning Roller Bearings: Superior Load Handling for Demanding Industries
When your equipment operates in extreme environments — under high loads, misalignment, and vibration — ordinary bearings simply won’t last. That’s where TIMKEN self-aligning (spherical) roller bearings come in. Engineered for performance, durability, and adaptability, TIMKEN bearings deliver superior load-handling capabilities that meet the intense demands of today’s industrial applications.
From mining and construction to steel, paper, and marine sectors, TIMKEN bearings are trusted worldwide for their rugged design and consistent performance.
What Makes TIMKEN Self-Aligning Roller Bearings Exceptional?
TIMKEN’s spherical roller bearings are designed with a double row of barrel-shaped rollers, offering outstanding resistance to radial and axial loads, even during shaft misalignment or deflection. This makes them the ideal choice for dynamic, high-impact machinery.
Key Advantages:
-
Self-aligning capability to manage shaft misalignment and prevent edge loading
-
Long service life under extreme radial and axial loads
-
Precision heat treatment for dimensional stability and high-temperature resistance
-
Wide range of clearances (C3, C4) for various load and speed conditions
-
W33 lubrication groove and holes for optimized grease flow and cooling
