SKF 23038-2CS5K/VT143 Spherical roller bearing with tapered bore, integral sealing and relubrication features

Spherical roller bearings can accommodate heavy loads in both directions. They are self-aligning and accommodate misalignment and shaft deflections, with virtually no increase in friction or temperature. Under normal operating conditions, sealed bearings are almost maintenance-free, keeping service costs and grease consumption low. The design includes features to facilitate relubrication.
