Abstract
A double-row self-aligning roller bearing, which is suitable for receiving an axial load and a radial load, and loads having different magnitudes acting on rollers in two rows, and achieves sufficient load capacity for the rollers that receive axial load within the constraint of dimensional standards, is provided. The double-row self-aligning roller bearing includes inner and outer rings; and rollers in two rows arranged in a bearing width direction interposed between the inner and outer rings and having lengths different from each other. The roller has an outer peripheral surface of a cross-sectional shape along a raceway surface of the outer ring having a spherical shape. Length of the longer rollers is equal to or greater than 39% of the bearing width. A ratio of contact angle of the shorter rollers and contact angle of the longer rollers is within a range of 1:4 to 1:2.
