Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29326 E

The SKF 29326 E axial self-aligning roller bearing accommodates high unilateral axial loads at 130 × 225 × 58 mm and compensates for misalignment.

The 29326 E axial self-aligning roller bearing is a heavy-duty rolling bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. It primarily accommodates high axial forces in one direction whilst also transmitting any concurrent radial loads. Thanks to the hollow spherical housing raceway, the roller set self-aligns during operation, enabling the component to compensate for misalignment and elastic shaft deflection. Manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing complies with standard tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1.

What loads can the 29326 E axial self-aligning roller bearing accommodate?

This bearing is used in industrial bearing arrangements where very high axial thrust forces are present and where manufacturing-related misalignments or load-dependent shaft deflections need to be compensated for. As the bearing is designed to act on one side only, it specifically absorbs axial forces in a preferred direction. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +200 degrees Celsius. The robust design ensures reliable power transmission even under demanding conditions.

What are the distinctive features of the Explorer version with a sheet steel cage?

In the Explorer version, the bearing is characterised by a refined internal geometry and optimised contact surfaces between the rollers and raceways. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the barrel-shaped rolling elements stably and withstands mechanical and thermal stresses. When selecting the bearing, it is important to note that axial self-aligning roller bearings require a minimum axial load during operation. This prevents slippage between the rolling elements and the raceways and contributes to a long service life for the bearing.
