22238K Spherical roller bearing

22238K The 22238K is a spherical roller bearing from the 222 series with a 190 mm bore diameter and a tapered bore configuration (1:12 taper ratio). Spherical roller bearings feature two rows of barrel-shaped rollers running on a common spherical outer ring raceway, providing self-aligning capability to accommodate shaft deflection and misalignment. This bearing type is commonly used in heavy industrial applications including mining equipment, pulp and paper machinery, gearboxes, and construction equipment where high radial loads, moderate thrust loads, and self-alignment are required. The tapered bore allows for simplified mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves.
