Typical Applications
Designed for Misalignment, Heavy Loads and Harsh Operating Conditions
Spherical roller bearings contain two rows of symmetrical rollers running on a common spherical outer ring raceway. This structure allows the bearing to accommodate shaft deflection and mounting errors while carrying high radial loads.
They are commonly selected for equipment where vibration, impact load, shaft bending or housing deformation can occur during operation.

Self-Aligning Capability
The spherical raceway helps compensate for shaft misalignment, installation deviation and shaft deflection during operation.
High Radial Load Capacity
Two rows of rollers provide strong radial load support for crushers, vibrating screens, mills and other heavy machinery.
Shock Load Resistance
Robust internal geometry and cage options help bearings perform under impact, vibration and intermittent heavy-load conditions.
Axial Load Support
In addition to radial loads, spherical roller bearings can support axial loads in both directions within suitable application limits.
Common Spherical Roller Bearing Series
Different series are selected according to shaft size, load level, speed, housing space and operating conditions.
| Series | General Characteristics | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 222 Series | Medium section design, commonly used where radial load and speed need to be balanced. | Gearboxes, conveyors, fans, general industrial machinery. |
| 223 Series | Heavy section design with higher load capacity than 222 series in the same bore range. | Vibrating screens, crushers, mining equipment, heavy conveyors. |
| 230 Series | Light section design, suitable for limited radial space and relatively higher speed conditions. | Paper machines, fans, pumps, process equipment. |
| 231 Series | Medium section design with good load capacity for larger shaft arrangements. | Rolling mills, gear drives, marine equipment, industrial reducers. |
| 232 Series | Heavy section design for high radial load and shock load conditions. | Crushers, mills, heavy-duty gearboxes, construction machinery. |
| 239 Series | Very thin section design, often used where radial space is restricted. | Large industrial machines, special housings, compact bearing arrangements. |
| 240 Series | Wide section design, suitable for heavy radial loads at moderate speeds. | Paper machines, continuous casting machines, large fans, heavy equipment. |
| 241 Series | Very wide section design with high load carrying capacity for demanding applications. | Rolling mills, mining machinery, large gearboxes, heavy industrial drives. |
Not Sure Which Series or Suffix to Choose?
Send us your bearing number, old brand reference, drawing or application details. We can help check the suitable series, clearance, bore type and suffix before quotation.
Cage design, clearance and bore type should be checked before replacement.
Cage Designs and Common Suffixes
The suffix after the bearing number often indicates cage type, bore type, lubrication feature or internal clearance. These details affect fit, lubrication and operating performance.
Steel cage designs
Common for many industrial applications. Suitable for standard load and speed conditions.
Brass cage designs
Often used for heavy load, shock load or higher temperature operating conditions.
Tapered bore
K means 1:12 taper. K30 means 1:30 taper, commonly used in some wide series.
Internal clearance
Used when fit, temperature rise or vibration requires more internal clearance.
| Suffix | Meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| W33 | Lubrication groove and holes on the outer ring | Common for grease or oil distribution in larger bearings. |
| CC | Steel cage, symmetrical rollers | Common design for general industrial use. |
| CA | One-piece brass cage, symmetrical rollers | Often selected for heavy-duty applications. |
| MB / MA | Machined brass cage | Used where cage strength and stability are important. |
| K / K30 | Tapered bore | K = 1:12 taper, K30 = 1:30 taper. |
| C3 / C4 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal | Selected according to fit, temperature and operating speed. |
Inspection, Packing and Delivery Check
Each spherical roller bearing order is checked before shipment against the confirmed bearing number, suffix, quantity and packing requirement. For replacement orders, drawings or old bearing references help avoid mismatched design details.

What We Check Before Shipment
Inspection scope can be adjusted according to bearing size, order quantity and customer documentation requirements.
- Model and suffix Bearing number, cage type, bore type, lubrication feature and clearance are confirmed.
- Dimensions Bore diameter, outside diameter and width are checked when required by order or drawing.
- Surface and marking Visible surfaces, chamfers, lubrication holes, groove and bearing markings are reviewed.
- Packing and documents Rust protection, labels, wooden case, packing list and shipment marks are checked before delivery.
Note: for replacement orders, old bearing number, suffix, brand reference or drawing helps confirm equivalent design details before quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from buyers replacing or sourcing spherical roller bearings for heavy-duty industrial equipment.
Can you quote if I only have the old bearing number?
Yes. You can send the old bearing number, suffix, photos, nameplate, drawing or equipment model. These details help us confirm the series, bore type, clearance, cage design and lubrication features before quotation.
Can you cross reference SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN or other bearing numbers?
Yes. Brand references can be checked by dimensions, suffix, internal design and application conditions. For critical equipment, we recommend confirming the drawing, old bearing photos or installation details before selecting an equivalent model.
Should I keep the same suffix such as C3, C4, K or W33?
In replacement orders, it is usually better to keep the original suffix unless the working conditions have changed. C3 and C4 relate to internal clearance, K indicates tapered bore, and W33 normally indicates a lubrication groove and holes.
How do I confirm the correct internal clearance?
Clearance selection depends on load, speed, temperature, shaft fit, housing fit and application conditions. If you are not sure whether to use CN, C3 or C4, please send the existing bearing number and equipment application for checking.
Are large-size spherical roller bearings available?
Large-size spherical roller bearings can be checked according to model, dimensions, cage type, clearance and quantity. Please provide the bearing number or drawing so we can confirm availability, production possibility and delivery time.
Can you supply bearings for crushers, vibrating screens or heavy equipment?
Yes. Spherical roller bearings are commonly used in crushers, vibrating screens, conveyors, gearboxes, rolling mills and mining equipment. Application information helps confirm the proper series, cage design, clearance and lubrication features.
What affects the quotation and delivery time?
Quotation and delivery time depend on bearing model, size, quantity, suffix, cage type, stock status, packing requirements and documentation needs. Clear information helps us check price and delivery schedule faster.
