The 2218K-C3 is a self-aligning ball bearing with a 90mm tapered bore (1:12 taper) and C3 radial internal clearance. The tapered bore design allows for direct mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves, while the self-aligning capability accommodates shaft deflection and misalignment up to approximately 1.5 to 2.5 degrees.
Self-aligning ball bearings are commonly used in applications where shaft misalignment is unavoidable, such as agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, wood processing machinery, and general industrial applications with flexible or long shaft configurations. The C3 clearance provides accommodation for thermal expansion and interference fit conditions.
