Inch Series Self-aligning Ball Bearing

Self-aligning ball bearings have a unique structure: their outer ring raceway is spherical, allowing the inner ring and cage assembly (containing double-row steel balls) to oscillate freely within this spherical raceway. This design results in the following outstanding characteristics:

Excellent self-aligning capability

Primarily withstands radial loads, and can withstand small amounts of bidirectional axial loads

Low frictional resistance and low operating temperature

Self-aligning ball bearings are particularly suitable for applications where there is a risk of misalignment and where the load and speed are moderate:

Textile machinery: Long shaft drives in spinning machines, winding machines, etc., are the most classic application area.

Agricultural machinery: Tractors, harvesters, and other equipment with high vibration, harsh operating conditions, and prone to deformation.

Ventilation and transmission equipment: Industrial fans, long drive shafts, and equipment connected by flexible couplings.

Material conveying equipment: Light-duty conveyor belt rollers.

Office and general machinery: Suitable for general transmission parts where installation precision control is not critical.
