What are spherical roller bearings used for?

# data[].attributes.body
A 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.                  Sara Saleh

Roller bearings — also known as rolling-element bearings — are similar to ball bearings in that they are designed to carry a load while minimizing friction. However, roller bearings transmit loads using cylinder rolling elements, rather than balls, to maintain the separation between moving parts of the bearing.

A needle roller bearing is a bearing that uses small cylindrical rollers. These rollers are used to reduce friction of a rotating surface. Compared to ball bearings, needle roller bearings have a large surface area that is in contact with the bearing raceway journals.

Spherical roller bearings work best in low- to medium-speed applications, and can perform well in tough environments. Self-aligning characteristics allow spherical roller bearings to accept deviations in shaft misalignment

A ball bearing is a form of rolling-element bearing that relies on balls to keep the bearing races separated. A ball bearing's job is to reduce rotational friction while also supporting radial and axial stresses.

Spherical Roller Bearings are available in two bore types:

Cylindrical Bore.

Tapered Bore.

Spherical Roller Bearings are

Capable of carrying both radial loads and axial loads

Suitable for low & medium speed applications

Suitable for applications where some misalignment of Shaft can arise

Pairs of tapered roller bearings are used in car and vehicle wheel bearings where they must cope simultaneously with large vertical (radial) and horizontal (axial) forces. Tapered roller bearings are commonly used for moderate speed, heavy duty applications where durability is required.

# data[].attributes.body
Tapered roller bearings are bearings that can take both axial loads (sideways or thrust forces), as well as radial loads (downward force). Looking at the diagram below, the bearing angle determines how much axial and radial load the bearing can sustain.
