NTN is a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance rolling bearings, offering innovative solutions for industrial machinery, automotive systems, and precision equipment. Among its extensive product lineup, NTN’s **Set Screw Type Bearings with Spherical Outer Diameter (O.D.)** stand out for their robust construction, ease of installation, and exceptional load-handling capabilities. These bearings are engineered to deliver reliable performance in applications where misalignment compensation, high radial loads, and secure shaft mounting are critical.
### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
NTN’s **Set Screw Type Bearings with Spherical O.D.** incorporate several key design features that enhance functionality and durability:
– **Spherical Outer Diameter:** The convex spherical outer surface allows for self-alignment within a bearing housing, compensating for minor shaft misalignment and reducing stress on the bearing. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where shaft deflection or housing inaccuracies may occur.
– **Set Screw Locking Mechanism:** Equipped with a precision-set screw, these bearings provide a secure grip on the shaft, preventing slippage under high torque or vibration. The set screw design simplifies installation and maintenance, eliminating the need for additional locking devices.
– **High-Quality Materials & Heat Treatment:** Manufactured from premium-grade steel and subjected to advanced heat treatment processes, these bearings offer superior wear resistance, extended service life, and consistent performance even in harsh operating conditions.
– **Sealed & Shielded Options:** Many models come with integrated seals or shields to protect against contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring smooth operation in demanding environments.
### **Performance Benefits**
NTN’s Set Screw Type Bearings with Spherical O.D. provide several performance advantages:
– **Misalignment Compensation:** The spherical O.D. design accommodates angular misalignment, reducing bearing stress and preventing premature failure.
– **High Load Capacity:** Optimized internal geometry ensures excellent radial load support, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
– **Easy Installation & Maintenance:** The set screw locking system allows for quick mounting and disassembly, minimizing downtime in industrial settings.
– **Versatility:** Available in various configurations, including open, shielded, or sealed designs, these bearings can be tailored to specific application requirements.
