Glossary – Spherical Roller Bearings

  • Spherical Roller Bearings – Are double row self-aligning bearings capable of carrying heavy radial loads combined with moderate thrust loads in either direction. They are extremely resistant to shock loads and their self-aligning feature allows full capacity loading despite shaft deflection.
  • Continuous Caster Rollers – These are 2-split bearing units of a highly reliable design and feature a long service life. Cylindrical roller bearings with self-aligning rings having a proper alignment function.
  • Spherical Roller Bearings TL Series – Excellent performance with high-temperature equipment. High strength to prevent inner ring fractures.
  • Shaker Screen Bearings – Are designed for vibrating applications such as screens, feeders, and compactors. These are self-aligning spherical roller bearings designed to accommodate the high loads, static and dynamic misalignment characteristics, and severe environmental conditions inherent in these applications.
  • Triple Ring Bearings – Are specially designed for use with controlled crown rolls used extensively in the paper industry. These high load capacity bearings provide “shaft within shaft” operation while simplifying the surrounding structure and installation.

Glossary – Tapered Roller Bearings

  • Four Row Tapered Roller Bearings Are very popular for use on roll necks. Most of these bearings are composed of two double cones (four Inner ring raceways), a cone spacer, two single cups (one at each end), one double cup (the center two raceways in the outer rings), and two cup spacers. They are very effective at operating under heavy radial and axial loads at low to moderate speeds. NSK four row tapered bearings are standardly supplied with carburized rings and rollers and are compatible with industry standards. “Sealed-Clean” bearings are four row tapers with seals for the harshest of operating environments. NSK’s patented design provides the optimum sealing efficiency with only a slight loss of capacity.
  • Two Row Tapered Roller Bearings Are very common as the back-up thrust bearing in a rolling mill or as the roll neck in lighter duty rolling mills. Two row tapers are designed in a variety of styles for different applications. Converging bearings (TDI, TDIE, TDIS) consist of one double cone and two single cups possibly with a cup spacer. Diverging bearings (TDO, TDOD, TDOC) consist of two single cones, a cone spacer, and one double cup.
