Can spherical roller bearings take axial loads?
Axial load carrying capacity SKF spherical roller bearings are able to accommodate axial loads and even accommodate purely axial loads.
How do you find the axial load of a bearing?
When determining the axial load Fa , refer to Calculating the axial load for bearings mounted singly or paired in tandem . Use SKF Bearing Select ….Symbols.
| A | minimum axial load factor (product table) |
|---|---|
| P | equivalent dynamic bearing load [kN] |
| P0 | equivalent static bearing load [kN] |
What loads can a spherical roller bearing handle?
Spherical roller bearings are able to support substantial axial and radial load combinations of the rolls and cylinders used. They tolerate misalignment between the shaft and housing. Bearings should have a rated life of at least 200,000 h in the dryer section and 120,000 h (14 years) in the other sections.
How much axial load can a ball bearing handle?
For single-row edge-contact ball bearings, axial load can be about 2 times max radial load, and for cone-bearings maximum axial load is between 1 and 2 times maximum radial load.
Are spherical roller bearing self aligning?
Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning bearings designed for heavy radial loading. The rollers are barrel shaped. These bearings automatically compensate for large angular errors commonly called shaft misalignments.
How do you calculate axial load?
Measure the total horizontal distance traversed by the load (e.g., the total distance in the horizontal direction of a cable holding up a sign). Measure the total vertical distance traversed by the load. Divide the distance in the vertical direction by the distance in the horizontal direction.
Why are spherical roller bearings used?
Spherical roller bearings (SRB) are popular because they can take very heavy loads and are self aligning. Their design allows them to take combined loads in both the radial and axial direction acting together. Each roller is loosely retained in place within a cage that goes full circle between the raceways.
What is axial load capacity?
The dynamic axial load carrying capacity is a value for the permissible axial load that ensures a stable bearing operating temperature at 60°C above ambient temperature. That means that the frictional heat generated inside the bearing is equal to the heat dissipation via the shaft and housing at that temperature.
