Spherical Roller Bearings

Cooper launch new split spherical roller bearings. Combining more than a century of world leading bearing technology, from self-aligning knowledge and Cooper split roller bearing expertise, Cooper are excited to announce the launch of the new split spherical roller bearing range, available in open (unsealed) and sealed versions.

Spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring. The misalignment is possible due to the spherical internal shape of the outer ring and spherical rollers. Despite what their name may imply, spherical roller bearings are not truly spherical in shape. The rolling elements of spherical roller bearings are mainly cylindrical in shape, but have a profile that makes them appear like cylinders that have been slightly over-inflated.
