1. What Are 241 Series Spherical Roller Bearings

The 241 series are medium-thin, extra-wide heavy-duty spherical roller bearings, an upgraded higher-load variant of the 240 series. They also feature large bore diameters and slim outer rings, paired with wider and thicker rollers. Balancing slim installation envelopes and superior load capacity, they are the mainstream bearing type for large heavy-duty equipment with hollow shafts.

2. Nomenclature of 241 Series Spherical Roller Bearings

Model Example: 24192CAK30/W33

• 241: Series code – digit "2" stands for double-row rollers; "41" represents medium-thin, extra-wide heavy-duty large-bore design

• 92: Bore code, corresponding to a bore diameter of 460 mm; K30 denotes tapered bore with a 1:30 taper ratio

• CA: Heavy-duty brass cage

• W33: Circumferential lubrication groove compatible with centralized lubrication systems

3. Features of 241 Series Spherical Roller Bearings

• Larger roller dimensions than the 240 series deliver markedly improved load capacity

• Slim outer ring construction meets equipment dimensional constraints on outer diameter

• Extra-wide rolling elements distribute stress evenly and slow down wear under heavy loads

• 1:30 large tapered bore fits heavy-duty adapter sleeves, ideal for giant spindles without shaft shoulders

• Wide self-aligning angle to compensate for deflection of long large shafts and eccentricity of cylinders

4. Applications of 241 Series Spherical Roller Bearings

Roller tables for large metallurgical continuous casters, support rollers of super-large cement rotary kilns, wide-width high-speed dryer cylinders for papermaking, hot rolling rolls for non-ferrous metals, large vertical mining mills
