Self-aligning ball bearings feature either cylindrical or tapered bore designs, capable of withstanding substantial radial loads while also accommodating axial loads. Their defining characteristic is the spherical outer raceway, which provides self-aligning capability.
● High rotational speeds
● Low friction
● Light load performance
● Low noise
● Minimal maintenance requirements
Product Description
Self-aligning ball bearings feature either cylindrical or tapered bore configurations. Cage materials include steel plate and synthetic resin, enabling them to withstand substantial radial loads while also accommodating axial loads. Characterised by a spherical outer raceway, these bearings possess self-aligning capability to compensate for misalignment and shaft deflection errors, provided the relative inclination between inner and outer rings does not exceed 3 degrees.
Features and Advantages
● Adaptability to static and dynamic misalignment
Like spherical roller bearings, this type possesses self-aligning capability.
● Superior high-speed performance
Self-aligning ball bearings exhibit the lowest friction among all rolling bearing types, with minimal temperature rise even at high rotational speeds.
● Minimal maintenance requirements
Reduced heat generation maintains lower operating temperatures, extending bearing life and maintenance intervals.
● Low friction
The clearance fit between rolling elements and outer ring minimises friction and associated heat generation.
● Superior light load performance
Self-aligning ball bearings feature low minimum load requirements.
Product Applications
Suitable for heavy and impact loads, precision instrumentation, low-noise motors, automotive, motorcycle, metallurgical, rolling mill, mining, petroleum, papermaking, cement, sugar refining industries, and general machinery.
