NSK spherical roller bearings handle radial and axial loads simultaneously thanks to their double-row, self-aligning design. The spherical outer raceway lets the inner ring and rollers adjust to angular misalignment between shaft and housing, which suits equipment where shaft deflection occurs or precise alignment is difficult to achieve. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States, Canada, Mexico and South America, and can help you confirm the right part number.

The CAMKE series code breaks down into distinct elements. CAM means a machined brass cage guided by the inner ring. KE indicates a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper. The number that follows the prefix gives the size: 22228CAMKE4 and 22230CAMKE4 belong to the 222 series, while 21319CAMKE4 and 21320CAMKE4 are part of the 213 series. E4 designates a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring, which simplifies relubrication. Understanding these components helps you order the exact bearing for your application.

These bearings are common in belt conveyors, hammer mills, high-flow centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, pulp and paper machines, mining equipment, gearboxes and rotary kiln support rollers. Their ability to run with misalignment makes them a good fit for long shafts or structures that vibrate, where a rigid bearing would fail early.

Selection depends on radial and axial load, rotation speed and mounting type. A 1:12 tapered bore requires either an adapter sleeve or a shaft with a matching taper, and tightening is controlled by measuring the reduction of internal clearance. Lubrication can be grease or oil, and the E4 feature allows relubrication without disassembly. The machined brass cage works well at high speeds and moderate temperatures. Check initial alignment and residual clearance after mounting to prevent overloads.

When considering equivalents, remember that each manufacturer uses its own suffixes for cage, taper and lubrication. A spherical roller bearing from another brand with a tapered bore and brass cage may be interchangeable, but always compare main dimensions, internal clearance and cage type. The series number alone is not enough because suffixes change performance. If you have a part number from another brand or an unidentified bearing, send us the details and we will identify a compatible alternative.
