What Is The Definition Of The Global Spherical Roller Bearings Market?
Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that feature barrel-shaped rollers placed between two inner and outer raceways. The raceways are concave and spherical, allowing the bearings to self-align and accommodate angular misalignments in machinery shafts. They are designed to handle heavy radial and axial loads while maintaining high durability.
