29200 Series

29200 Series Thrust Spherical Roller Bearing - High Axial Load Capacity & Self-Alignment

The **29200 series thrust spherical roller bearing** is engineered for industrial applications requiring exceptional axial load capacity and dynamic self-alignment. This bearing is specifically designed to accommodate heavy thrust loads while compensating for shaft misalignment, a common issue in complex machinery. Its robust construction and unique internal geometry make it a reliable component for critical industrial systems.

Product Features

• High Axial Load Capacity: The **29200 series** features a large number of rollers and an optimized raceway geometry, enabling it to withstand extremely high unidirectional axial loads. This is ideal for heavy-duty applications like **vertical pumps** and **crane hooks** where constant thrust is a factor.
• Self-Aligning Capability: This bearing is designed to tolerate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This functionality is crucial for installations where manufacturing or mounting errors can occur, ensuring a longer bearing service life and preventing premature failure.
• Low Friction Operation: Despite its high load capacity, the bearing maintains low friction under operational loads. This minimizes heat generation and energy consumption, contributing to the overall efficiency of the machinery.

Application Areas

The **29200 series thrust spherical roller bearing** is a critical component in a wide range of heavy industrial applications, including:

• Vertical electric motors and pumps
• Extruders and industrial presses
• Marine propulsion and thrusters
• Hydraulic cranes and hoist mechanisms
• Mining equipment and ore crushers
• Industrial gearboxes and rolling mills

FAQ - Common Purchasing Questions

1. How does a 29200 series bearing compare to a spherical roller thrust bearing from a different series for my vertical pump application?

The **29200 series** is specifically optimized for high thrust loads, offering a larger contact area and greater roller capacity than other series. While a standard spherical roller bearing can handle some thrust, it is not designed to manage the high, constant axial forces typical in **vertical pump** operation. We recommend a full engineering analysis to ensure the selected bearing's dynamic load rating and life expectancy meet your specific operational parameters. Our technical support team can provide a free consultation.

2. We are experiencing premature bearing failure in a heavy-duty gearbox. Could the 29200 series solve this problem?

Premature bearing failure is often linked to improper lubrication, misalignment, or overloading. The **29200 series** excels in handling heavy axial loads and compensating for angular misalignment, which are common stress factors in **heavy-duty gearboxes**. However, to definitively address your issue, we would need to review the specific failure mode and operating conditions (speed, load, temperature). Please contact our technical team with details of your current setup so we can assess whether the **29200 series** is the optimal solution for improving your system's reliability and **reducing maintenance costs**.
