Self-aligning ball bearings feature two rows of balls running on a spherical outer ring raceway, allowing the bearing to compensate for shaft deflection and misalignment between the shaft and housing. The tapered 1:12 bore enables secure mounting directly onto tapered shafts or adapter sleeves. C3 radial clearance provides greater internal clearance than standard, accommodating thermal expansion in operating conditions.
This bearing type is commonly used in applications with shaft misalignment or deflection such as agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, wood processing machinery, and fans. The self-aligning capability makes these bearings suitable for applications where precise alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain during operation.
