NTN, Timken, SKF, LYC Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical bearings are used in countless industrial applications where there are heavy loads, moderate speeds and possibly misalignment.

The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered. In general, roller bearings offer higher load capacities than ball bearings of the same size.

As heavy lifting equipment, cranes will use different types and brands of bearings in their rotating parts. Bearings of the same type and type have the same mounting dimensions. If you want it to run longer, choosing a well-known brand of bearings will help.

After comparing their product data, we know that the bearing performance of the same type is as follows;

NTN > Timken > SKF > LYC
