Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29436 E

The SKF 29436 E axial self-aligning roller bearing accommodates heavy axial loads with a bore of 180 mm, an outside diameter of 360 mm and a width of 109 mm.

The SKF 29436 E axial self-aligning roller bearing is designed as a single-acting rolling bearing for heavy-duty industrial applications. Thanks to the crowned rollers and the hollow-spherical housing raceway, this bearing design automatically compensates for misalignment and shaft deflection during operation. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), the raceways offer high wear resistance. Furthermore, the SKF Explorer performance class design enables effective load transmission whilst simultaneously accommodating superimposed radial forces.

What is the 29436 E axial self-aligning roller bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

This bearing type is primarily used when very high axial forces in one direction need to be accommodated. As the design compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, it counteracts harmful edge pressures on the rolling elements. In addition to the dominant axial forces, the roller bearing also accommodates simultaneously occurring radial loads, which simplifies the design of the entire bearing arrangement.

What are the key considerations for the single-direction Explorer design?

During installation, the single-direction design requires a defined orientation of the load direction, as it accommodates axial forces in only one direction. The bearing components can be fitted separately, which facilitates handling with a shaft diameter of 180 mm. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and specified to standard tolerance (P0/PN or ABEC 1), the bearing operates within a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees Celsius. A constant minimum axial load during operation helps to prevent slippage between the rollers and raceways.
