What Are Aligning Roller Bearings?
TIMKEN aligning roller bearings, commonly referred to as spherical roller bearings, feature two rows of barrel-shaped rollers and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring. This design allows the bearing to self-align, compensating for misalignment between the shaft and housing, and ensuring smooth, reliable operation even in harsh environments.
