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
- Lower friction than roller bearings
- Higher rotational speed capability
- Reduced operating temperature
- Self-aligning design compensates for shaft deflection and mounting errors
- Lower energy consumption
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.
