23026K Spherical roller bearing

23026K The 23026K is a spherical roller bearing from the 230 series, featuring a 130 mm tapered bore (1:12 taper) designed for secure mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves. Spherical roller bearings utilize barrel-shaped rollers running on a 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, paper mill machinery, gearboxes, and construction equipment where high radial loads, moderate thrust loads, and compensation for misalignment are required. The tapered bore design facilitates mounting and dismounting while enabling axial positioning through hydraulic or mechanical methods.
