Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29416 E

The SKF 29416 E axial self-aligning roller bearing (80x170x54 mm) accommodates heavy axial loads and reliably compensates for shaft misalignment.

The 29416 E axial self-aligning roller bearing is a single-acting rolling bearing for industrial applications subject to significant axial forces. Thanks to the angular arrangement of the barrel rollers, the design transmits not only dominant axial forces but also superimposed radial forces. The bearing is manufactured by SKF and is designed to the optimised Explorer performance class. With a bore of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 170 mm and a height of 54 mm, this rolling bearing fits into standardised mechanical engineering assemblies.

Under what loads does the 29416 E axial self-aligning roller bearing operate?

This rolling bearing absorbs high axial thrust forces on shaft runs whilst simultaneously compensating for elastic deflection or angular misalignment. Typical applications include heavily loaded industrial gearboxes and large machinery with vertical or horizontal shaft alignment. As the raceway of the housing disc is hollow-spherical in shape, the bearing adjusts to angular misalignment. This design prevents edge loading on the rolling elements and reduces stress in the bearing seat.

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

The integrated sheet steel cage keeps the sets of rollers spaced apart and is unaffected by lubricant additives. In combination with the standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing covers a temperature range from –30 to +200 degrees. The classification under standard tolerance P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) ensures defined fit conditions on the shaft and housing. As an open component, the thrust bearing can be fitted separately; however, it requires a targeted supply of lubricant during operation.
