Self-Aligning Ball Bearing

self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls and a common concave sphered raceway in the outer ring. The bearing is consequently self-aligning and insensitive to angular misalignments of the shaft relative to the housing. It is particularly suitable for applications where considerable shaft deflections or misalignment are to be expected. Additionally, the self-aligning ball bearing has the lowest friction of all rolling bearings, which enables it to run cooler even at high speeds.  
       
Double row self-aligning ball bearings are mainly used to carry radial loads and light axial loads, but can’t carry pure axial loads.

l         Excellent alignment compensation due to the spherical outer ring raceway 

l         Suitable for low to medium radial loads and low thrust loads

l         Available in open and sealed versions, as well as in tapered bore (suffix K)

l         Series: 1200, 1300, 2200, 2300 series

l         Application examples: agricultural machinery, chemistry, pumps, etc.
