... spherical roller bearings are used for their capacity to tolerate misalignment between the shaft and the bearing, a common situation on shafts due to deflection caused by static and dynamic loads. Roller bearings generally tolerate misalignment poorly as compared to ball bearings, and the spherical roller addresses this deficiency. 1, record 1, English, - spherical%20roller
