Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29428 E

The SKF 29428 E axial self-aligning roller bearing (140x280x85 mm) accommodates high axial loads on one side and compensates for misalignment during operation.

The 29428 E axial self-aligning roller bearing is a heavy-duty rolling bearing for industrial applications subject to axial loads acting from one side. Thanks to its angularly adjustable design, the unit can accommodate axial loads even when the shaft is deflected. SKF manufactures this design in the Explorer performance class from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6). A sheet steel cage guides the barrel-shaped rollers and allows for a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees.

What is the 29428 E axial-radial roller bearing suitable for?

This bearing is designed for applications where very high axial forces occur and, at the same time, angular misalignment between the shaft and housing must be compensated for. Typical applications include heavily loaded industrial gearboxes and large machinery with heavy vertical shafts. The rolling elements are positioned at an angle to the bearing axis, enabling the component to accommodate radial components of force in addition to the dominant axial forces. However, this design is not intended for purely radial loads.

What distinguishes the Explorer design and tolerance class P0/PN?

The Explorer design features optimised internal geometry and a refined surface finish at the rolling element–raceway contact. Together with the temperature-resistant sheet steel cage, the bearing is suitable for demanding lubrication conditions and continuous operating temperatures up to +200 degrees. Manufactured to standard tolerances (tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1), the unit fits into standardised housing bores and onto solid shafts. When designing the application, the minimum load required by the design must be observed to prevent the rollers from slipping.
