 DESIGN OF SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARINGS

Allows important shaft mis -

alignment and deflection.
Axial displacement inside the
bearing is limited :
Centre of pivot corresponds
with shaft center. Axial clearance
in the bearing depends on the
radial clearance. (related to RSRB)

R SRB Additional axial displacement

depends on the freedom of
the outer ring.

 DESIGN OF CYLINDRICAL ROLLER BEARINGS

Allows important shaft dis -

placement in axial direction.

Shaft misalignment cannot be

allowed. (very limited)
