Double row self-aligning ball bearings has two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. The bearing is consequently self-aligning. It is particularly effective where considerable shaft deflections or misalignment are to be expected.

Additionally the self-aligning bearing has the lowest friction of all bearings, which allows it to run cooler even at high speeds.

The basic bearing is available with a cylindrical bore or, in certain sizes with a tapered bore for use with a locking sleeve.

Self-aligning bearings are also manufactured in a sealed version with contact seals.

Both metric and imperial sizes are available, ranging from 5mm up to 240mm bore or 1/2” up to 6”.
