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 shaft and housing. The 2215-K has a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper, designed for mounting directly on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves.
Commonly used in applications where misalignment from installation errors, shaft deflection, or thermal expansion is expected, such as agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, woodworking machinery, and industrial fans. The self-aligning capability makes these bearings particularly suitable for long shaft applications and installations with flexible mounting structures.
