The SKF spherical roller bearing is a double-row self-aligning component, designed to support high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, even when the shaft and housing are not perfectly aligned. Its spherical outer raceway allows the assembly to self-align, absorbing angular misalignment without losing load capacity. It is used in equipment subject to shaft deflection, imperfect seats or mountings where structural rigidity is not complete. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line and advises you to choose the correct part number.

The designation of these bearings combines numbers and letters that identify the size and execution variants. In the series we supply, the typical format is 226400 E/400, where the first numeric part defines the basic size and the suffix E indicates an optimized execution, generally with higher load capacity. The number after the slash usually corresponds to the bore diameter or a mounting reference. To correctly interpret each code, it is essential to consult the manufacturer's table, since suffixes may vary depending on the version. If you have doubts, send us the complete code and we will verify it.

These bearings are used in industries where shafts are subject to deflection or housings are not rigid: cement plants, steel mills, crushing plants, mills, bulk conveyors, paper machines and mining equipment. In Argentina, they are common in heavy gearboxes, kiln rollers and high-load conveyor belts. Their self-aligning capability makes them ideal for mountings where perfect alignment between supports cannot be guaranteed, or where steel structures deform under load. They are also used in industrial fans and large pumps.

To select the right bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing is key: if there is dust, moisture or particles, choose executions with seals or flingers. Lubrication must be the one indicated by the manufacturer, with the correct amount and frequency; too much or too little grease shortens service life. During mounting, verify the initial alignment and use suitable tools to avoid damaging the raceways. Internal clearance also matters: excessive clearance generates vibrations and insufficient clearance raises the temperature.

On the market there are spherical roller bearings from different brands that can be interchangeable with each other, as long as the main dimensions, execution type and tolerances match. It is not enough for the code to be similar: bore diameter, outer diameter, width, load capacity and cage type must be compared. Some manufacturers use their own nomenclatures, so equivalence must be verified with cross-reference tables or by consulting a specialist. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can help you find the right replacement without compromising equipment performance.
