SKF 22218 EK Bearing – Ideal Heavy-Load, Self-Aligning Solution for Industry
Spherical roller bearings can withstand heavy loads in both directions. They are self-aligning bearings that compensate for shaft misalignment and deflection with almost no increase in friction or temperature.
This bearing type has provisions for relubrication. The bearing can be used in modular systems such as housings, sleeves, and locknuts.
1. Product Overview
SKF 22218 EK belongs to the double-row spherical roller bearing range and is notable for its ability to:
-
Carry extremely high radial loads
-
Carry axial loads in both directions
-
Self-align to compensate for shaft misalignment
-
Operate reliably in environments with severe vibration
This design is especially suitable for systems at risk of shaft misalignment or subject to continuously changing loads.
