Self-aligning ball bearings feature two rows of balls running on a spherical outer ring raceway, allowing the bearing to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. The 2216-K has a tapered bore (1:12 taper) designed for mounting directly on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves with locknut assembly.
These bearings are commonly used in applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is expected, including agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, woodworking machinery, and general industrial equipment. The self-aligning capability compensates for mounting errors and shaft deflection during operation.
