Spherical Plain bearings are ideal for static & oscillatory applications. Spherical plain bearings can carry high-capacity radial and axial loads in a small envelope due to a large contact area and ideal for static oscillatory applications found in the mining and construction industries.
Timken® ADAPT™ combines cylindrical and spherical roller bearing designs into one easy-to-assemble, high-capacity configuration. It’s ideal for applications with combined misalignment and axial displacement.ADAPT designed for continuous casters.
The Timken® ADAPT™ bearing combines the traditional cylindrical roller bearing and spherical roller bearing configurations. Its proprietary outer race and roller profiles plus a cylindrical inner ring combine the key attributes of both bearing types. This unique three-point contact design geometry provides simultaneous misalignment and axial displacement performance, optimizes contact stress distribution, and helps promote roller stability. The result is a more dynamic, more reliable bearing.
