Axial Spherical Roller B. SKF 29456 E

The SKF 29456 E axial self-aligning roller bearing, measuring 280 x 520 x 145 mm, accommodates heavy axial loads and compensates for misalignment.

This single-row axial self-aligning roller bearing 29456 E is designed for heavy mechanical loads in continuous industrial operation. Thanks to the spherical shape of the housing raceway, the bearing adjusts to angular movement, thereby compensating for shaft deflection. As an SKF Explorer version, the bearing is made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6) and operates within a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees.

What is the 29456 E axial self-aligning roller bearing suitable for?

Design engineers primarily use this roller bearing in industrial plant where axial forces acting in a single direction predominate. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to high axial thrust loads and misalignment. In addition to purely longitudinal forces, the bearing can also accommodate radial load components. Thanks to its angularly adjustable design, the component counteracts edge pressures should the shaft deform elastically under load or should housing misalignments occur during assembly.

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

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the barrel-shaped rollers reliably even at high temperatures and is resistant to lubricants. As this single-acting bearing is not self-retaining, fit the shaft and housing washers separately. Ensure that the tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) is maintained on the mating surfaces. During operation, the component requires a defined minimum axial load to prevent slippage between the rolling elements and the raceways.
