Self aligning ball bearings are precision components designed for applications requiring accommodation of misalignment between shaft and housing. These bearings feature a double row design with a spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for self-alignment capability.
The bearings are manufactured from high quality bearing steel and are available with various cage options including steel, nylon or copper. They offer excellent performance characteristics including low noise operation, vibration reduction, and long service life even under demanding conditions.
Key features include:
These bearings are widely used in various industrial applications including electric motors, textile machinery, food processing equipment, industrial dryers, plastic processing machinery, and many other applications where misalignment compensation is required.
The standard design includes options for open bearings or those with 2RS seals, and can be lubricated with either grease or oil depending on application requirements. Various clearance options (C2, C0, C3, C4, C5) are available to suit different operating conditions.
