Self-aligning double row ball bearing
Self-aligning double row ball bearing provides higher speed, lower friction, and lighter to moderate load capacity compared to bearings designed for maximum load capacity. In addition, these bearings produce less noise during operation, making them suitable for applications where low noise levels matter. Furthermore, Self-aligning double row ball bearing offer the advantage of being self-sealed, which helps protect the bearing from contamination and reduces maintenance requirements. Finally, you can select both bearing types in the Product Chooser for all types of bearing housings from Extreme Bearing.
Choose a self-aligning double row ball bearing when:
- Operating speeds are high
- Loads are relatively light or moderate
- Low friction and low heat generation are important
- Some shaft misalignment must be accommodated
- Quiet and energy-efficient operation is preferred
Typical applications:
- Electric motors
- Fans and blowers
- Agricultural machinery
- Light conveyor systems
- Textile and packaging machines
Advantages of self-aligning double row ball bearings
Self-aligning double row ball bearing offers several advantages over other bearing types. First, these bearings provide lower friction than roller bearings, which allows them to reach higher rotational speeds while reducing energy consumption. In addition, their lower friction helps maintain a reduced operating temperature and contributes to smoother operation. Furthermore, the self-aligning design compensates for shaft deflection and mounting errors, which improves reliability and performance. Finally, these bearings produce less operating noise than many other bearing types, making them a suitable choice for applications where smooth and quiet operation matters.
Key advantages:
- Lower friction than roller bearings
- Higher rotational speed capability
- Reduced operating temperature
- Lower energy consumption
- Self-aligning design compensates for shaft deflection and mounting errors
- Less operating noise than many other bearing types
- Smooth and reliable operation
The double row spherical ball bearings are available with three different shaft fixation options:
Adapter sleeve mounting
Perfect firmly concentric fit on shaft. Mounting bearing with adapter is technically the best mounting option. However, installation must be carried out by a skilled technician. Always follow the mounting instructions.
