= Spherical roller bearing
{wiki=Spherical_roller_bearing}
A spherical roller bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that is designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. It features a unique design that consists of two rows of symmetrical roller elements arranged between an inner ring with a single spherical raceway and an outer ring that has a corresponding spherical shape. This design allows for a certain degree of misalignment between the shaft and housing, making spherical roller bearings particularly suitable for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment may occur.
