Self-aligning Ball Bearing

Self Aligning Bearing Application

Self aligning bearing types have two rows of balls and two continuous tracks of deep groove ball type in the inner ring. The outer ring has a spherical track with the center of curvature coinciding with the center of curvature of the bearing. This gives the inner ring, the balls, and the shaft of the cage a deflection area. Self aligning linear ball bearings are mainly used to carry radial loads and light axial loads, but cannot carry pure axial loads. The followings are self-aligning bearing types.
