Self-aligning ball bearings

Home /

A self-aligning ball bearing is ideal for applications in which the shaft and housing are misaligned. Designed to accommodate a three-degree misalignment, self-aligning ball bearings minimize friction and frictional heat. Due to the relatively small contact angle, axial load capacities of these bearings are lower than, for example, that of angular contact bearings. There are many applications for self-aligning ball bearings, including mining, food processing and mass production, such as in the textile industry.
