Self Aligning Ball Bearings

Self-aligning ball bearings are engineered to accommodate both radial loads and moderate axial loads, while compensating for misalignments between the shaft and housing. This design makes them ideal for applications where precise alignment is challenging.

• Design and Construction: These bearings consist of an inner ring with a double row of balls, guided by a cage, and an outer ring with a spherical raceway. This configuration allows the inner ring and ball assembly to pivot within the outer ring, enabling self-alignment.
• Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway permits the bearing to adjust to angular misalignments, reducing stress on the bearing components and extending service life.
• Load Capacity While they primarily support radial loads, self-aligning ball bearings can also handle moderate axial loads, offering versatility in various applications.

• Agricultural Machinery: Commonly used in equipment like tractors and harvesters, where alignment may be compromised due to vibrations and uneven surfaces.
• Construction Equipment: Ideal for heavy machinery that experiences misalignment during operation.
• Industrial Fans and Blowers: Their ability to self-align makes them perfect for use in fans and blowers, where consistent performance is crucial.

• Improved Performance: These bearings maintain functionality even with significant misalignments, enhancing overall equipment performance.
• Ease of Installation:: Their design allows for straightforward installation and adjustment, reducing maintenance time and costs.
