Self-Aligning Ball Bearings

These bearings use two rows of balls and a common sphered outer-ring raceway to accommodate angular misalignment. The allowable misalignment depends on the exact version.

What to record before comparing bearings

Bore type, adapter sleeve if applicable, clearance, closures and permissible misalignment.

Preserve the full manufacturer’s designation, including prefixes, suffixes and slashes. Do not select a replacement from the bore alone or transfer a deep-groove ball bearing’s ratings to this family.

Dimensions and engineering data

Compare the exact variant’s bore, outside diameter and width or height. Check manufacturer-specific load ratings, speed definitions, fits and lubrication against the equipment requirements. Missing information remains unknown.
