Asymmetric Spherical Roller Bearing

Within high-performance wind turbines, the rotor shaft bearing support – where the locating bearing is subjected to high loads – performs a vital function. Stringent reliability requirements and a general increase in the number of bearing failures provided the impetus for Schaeffler to optimize its spherical roller bearing design. The result? The development of the asymmetric spherical roller bearing (ASRB) design.
