Self-aligning ball bearings are designed to accommodate misalignment and axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing. They consist of two rows of balls and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for self-alignment and smooth operation even under misaligned conditions. This unique design feature makes self-aligning ball bearings suitable for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is likely to occur, such as in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and automotive systems.
Self-aligning ball bearings offer excellent performance and reliability in challenging operating environments. They are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for shaft support and alignment.
