Understanding the 22236 Bearing: Core Specifications and Applications

The 22236 bearing
, a spherical roller bearing, is engineered for extreme load capacities and misalignment tolerance. With an inner diameter of 180 mm and a dynamic load rating of 1,120 kN, it outperforms standard bearings in heavy machinery. Industries like mining, cement production, and energy rely on its ability to handle combined radial and axial loads at speeds up to 1,800 RPM. For example, in crushers operating under 200°C, the 22236 series demonstrates a 30% longer lifespan compared to conventional designs, reducing downtime by 15% annually.

Spherical Roller Bearings vs. Ball Bearings: Key Differences

While ball bearings excel in high-speed, low-load applications (e.g., electric motors), spherical roller bearings like the 22236 dominate heavy-load environments. Key distinctions include:

• Load Type: Spherical rollers manage radial and axial loads simultaneously; ball bearings prioritize radial loads.
• Durability: Spherical designs withstand 2–3× higher shock loads, critical in mining equipment.
• Alignment Flexibility: Spherical bearings tolerate shaft misalignment up to 0.5°, versus 0.1° for ball types.

Thrust vs. Radial Bearings: Load Handling and Use Cases

Thrust bearings specialize in axial loads (e.g., vertical turbines), whereas radial bearings like the 22236 handle perpendicular forces. Hybrid applications, such as gearboxes, often combine both. For instance, wind turbine pitch systems use radial bearings for rotor weight and thrust variants for blade angle adjustments. The 22236’s 45° contact angle enables it to support axial loads up to 40% of its radial capacity, bridging both categories.

Technical Advantages of 22236 Bearings in Heavy-Duty Scenarios

Optimized for harsh conditions, the 22236 series incorporates:

• Carburized steel rollers with HRC 60–64 hardness
• Advanced cage designs reducing friction by 18%
• Sealed variants operating in IP66-rated environments

Field tests in steel mills show a 22% reduction in lubrication frequency, lowering maintenance costs by $1,200/year per unit.
