Self-aligning ball bearings

Self-aligning ball bearings are a specially designed type of rolling bearing with a geometric shape of the inner and outer ring spheres that allows the bearing to automatically adjust its inclination relative to the axis during installation. This design enables the bearing to withstand both axial and radial loads without the need for additional adjustment or preload during installation.

Self-aligning ball bearings excel in dealing with relative misalignment between the bearing and the shaft, making them suitable for applications where the shaft axis may be distorted or offset. They are commonly used in various mechanical applications, such as excavators, truck transmission systems, and textile machinery.

Due to their ability to self-adjust and their versatility, self-aligning ball bearings find widespread use in the industry, providing a reliable solution for complex motion and load conditions.
