Double Row Self-Aligning Ball Bearing Series

Its main features include:

• Self-aligning capability: This is its most significant advantage, enabling compensation for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, typically up to 2.5° to 3°, with some designs accommodating up to 4° of inclination. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where shaft deflection or mounting misalignment may occur

  .

  
  

• Low-friction operation: Among all rolling bearings, self-aligning ball bearings generally exhibit the lowest friction, allowing them to maintain lower temperatures even during high-speed operation

  .

  
  

• Load capacity: Primarily designed to withstand radial loads, they can also handle certain bidirectional axial loads. However, it is important to note that they cannot withstand pure axial loads

  .

  
  

• Multiple designs and configurations: The bearing inner bore comes in two basic designs: cylindrical and conical (with a taper of 1:12 or 1:30). Tapered bore bearings, used with adapter or withdrawal sleeves, facilitate easy mounting on solid shafts and allow for radial clearance adjustment. Additionally, there are different configurations such as sealed type (e.g., 2RS) and open type
