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 tapered bore design facilitates mounting on tapered shafts or adapter sleeves for simplified installation and removal.
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 C3 radial clearance provides additional internal space to accommodate thermal expansion in applications with elevated operating temperatures or interference fits.
