Basic rating life of the 22207 E

Basic rating life is L10 = (C / P)p million revolutions, where P is the equivalent dynamic load and p = 10/3 (roller bearing). For a 22207 E with C = 88.8 kN, the table shows what that gives at different load levels. It is the ISO 281 basic life only: it does not include lubrication, contamination, misalignment or reliability modifiers.

For example, a C / P of 5 means the equivalent load is 17.76 kN on this bearing. Use the Load Calculator to work out P for your actual radial and axial loads.

Equivalents of the 22207 E from other brands

These parts share the main boundary dimensions of the 22207 E and are commonly used as its equivalent. Published load ratings differ a little between makers because internal designs differ.

Check clearance class, cage, seals and any special suffix before ordering. A matching main size does not guarantee the parts are interchangeable in every detail.

Where the 22207 E is used

Spherical roller bearings are chosen for: Very high radial load with misalignment capability. Typical equipment: Crushers, mills, conveyors, wind main shafts, paper machines. Robust for shock/dust; lubrication and sealing are crucial.
