Spherical Outer Ring Raceway: The outer ring of the bearing has a spherical raceway, allowing the bearing to self-align under angular misalignment or shaft deflections.

Roller Elements: Spherical roller bearings contain barrel-shaped rollers that are oriented at an angle to the bearing axis. This design enables the bearing to handle both radial and axial loads.

High Load Capacity: Spherical roller bearings are known for their high load-carrying capacity, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications in industries such as mining, construction, and heavy machinery.

Variety of Designs: These bearings come in various designs, including symmetrical and asymmetrical designs, with different cage options. Symmetrical designs have a symmetrical roller arrangement, while asymmetrical designs have different lengths of rollers in the two rows.

Cage Options: The cage inside the bearing holds the rollers in place and can be made of various materials, including steel, brass, or synthetic materials. The choice of cage material depends on the application requirements.

Lubrication: Proper lubrication is crucial for the performance and longevity of spherical roller bearings. They can be lubricated with grease or oil, and some designs include features such as lubrication grooves and holes to facilitate proper lubrication.

Sealing and Shielding: Spherical roller bearings may come with seals or shields to protect the bearings from contaminants and retain lubrication. This is especially important in challenging environments.

Mounting and Dismounting: Spherical roller bearings are often designed with features that simplify the mounting and dismounting process, such as tapered bore options and withdrawal sleeves.
