Self-aligning ball bearing
Self-aligning ball bearing has a spherical raceway in the outer ring and a double-raceway in the inner ring. This feature gives the bearings the self-aligning property, which can keep the machine operating well even when angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing occurs. Values of permissible misalignment errors of double row self-aligning ball bearings are given in the section “selection of bearing type”. The self-aligning ball bearing is mainly used to carry radial loads and light axial loads, but they can not carry pure axial loads.Double row self-aligning bearings use an inner ring with a single spherical raceway. In this configuration, the inner ring and the outer ring can be misaligned with respect to each other. The boundary dimensions of self aligning bearing can be the same as standard ball bearings.

Product Description of Self-aligning ball bearing
- Self-aligning ball bearing Adapt to static and dynamic misalignment
- The Self-aligning ball bearings are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or CARB bearings.
- Self-aligning ball bearing Excellent high-speed performance
- Self-aligning ball bearings produce less friction than any other type of rolling bearing, which allows them to run cooler even at high speeds.
- Minimal maintenance
- Due to the low heat generation, the bearing temperature is lower, thereby extending bearing life and maintenance intervals.
- Self-aligning ball bearing Low friction
- The very loose fit between the balls and the outer ring keeps friction and frictional heat at a low level.
Excellent light load performance
The minimum load requirement for self-aligning ball bearings is lower. - Self-aligning ball bearing low noise
- Self-aligning ball bearings can reduce noise and vibration levels, for example in fans.
- When the shaft or housing is deflected, it can be adjusted automatically and has self-alignment without increasing the burden on the bearing.
- The self-aligning ball bearing has a large radial load capacity, which is mainly suitable for the phenomenon of heavy load and shock load.
- Good earthquake resistance and long service life.
- The sealing function is better.
- The concentricity error caused by processing, installation and shaft deformation can be compensated.
- Application areas Self-aligning ball bearings are mainly suitable for those bearings that can cause considerable shaft deflection or misalignment
- Used in places such as fine appearance, low-noise motors, transmission shafts of automobiles, motorcycles, woodworking machinery, textile machinery, and mines.
- Machinery, electromechanical equipment, plastic machinery, work equipment, medical equipment, fitness and sports equipment and general machinery, etc.
- self aligning bearing types
- A self aligning roller bearing is a bearing equipped with spherical balls between the inner ring of two raceways and the outer ring whose raceways are spherical.
- The curvature center of the outer ring raceway surface is consistent with the bearing center, so it has the same centering function as the self-aligning ball bearing.
- When the shaft and housing are deflected, they can be adjusted automatically without increasing the bearing burden. Spherical roller bearings can bear radial load and axial load in two directions. Large radial load capacity, suitable for heavy load and shock load.
- Bearings whose inner diameter is a tapered bore can be directly installed. Or use an adapter sleeve or a disassembly tube to install it on the cylindrical shaft. The cage uses a steel stamping cage, a polyamide forming cage and a copper alloy car cage.
- Self-aligning ball bearings have two structures: cylindrical bore and tapered bore, and the cage is made of steel plate, synthetic resin, etc.
- Its characteristic is that the raceway of the outer ring is spherical, with self-aligning property, which can compensate the errors caused by the misalignment and shaft deflection caused by the self-aligning ball bearing, but the relative inclination of the inner and outer rings shall not exceed 3 degrees.
- It can withstand large radial loads and at the same time can withstand certain axial loads. Since the outer ring raceway of the self-aligning ball bearing is spherical, it has self-aligning performance. When the shaft is bent or tilted, the center line of the inner ring and the center line of the outer ring are not more than 1°~2.5°. Still work.
- Yoke crawler idler
- In textile machinery, idler wheels will be used for the hoop seat drive and sand clamping device. The yoke track idler can convert the rotation of the cam and eccentric into a precisely defined and accurately counted reciprocating motion. The outer ring of the textile bearing is made of special rolling bearing steel, and the outer wall is particularly thick. At the same time, textile bearings have optimized their outer contours so that they can compensate for tilted positions.
- False twist bearing.
- The shaft unit is an integral unit, which is easy to install, without any adjustment, and has low operating noise. Its special top double-row ball bearing forms an integrated elastic support device, and the shaft runs extremely stable.
- Self-aligning ball bearings and deep groove ball bearings are different in structure and force, so the installation and disassembly methods are also different. The installation and disassembly of self-aligning ball bearings mainly pay attention to the following points:
- 1. The resultant force of force passes through the axis of the self-aligning ball bearing as much as possible, which requires that the force point is uniform, symmetrical and stable, and force is applied through a spherical surface or parallel to the axis.
2. The applied force should be stable and uniform, and should not be impacted. This requires the use of oil pressure or the use of tools that can apply a smooth tension or pressure. When hammering is really necessary, it must be passed through a softer copper sleeve, etc. The falling metal is cushioned, and the striking force is as gentle as possible. It is best to use a copper rod or copper hammer for hammering.
3. Avoid applying force through the rolling elements, which requires applying force through the inner ring when assembling and disassembling the inner ring (shaft ring), and applying force through the outer ring when assembling and disassembling the outer ring.
4. The drag force should continue to the extent it should be. For example, when the self-aligning ball bearing is installed, the force should be stopped when the self-aligning ball bearing is just installed in the correct position to ensure that the end face of the ring (washer) is against the seat hole or shaft The end face of the shoulder should not be squeezed too tightly, nor can it be installed improperly.
Application of Self-aligning ball bearing
Self-aligning ball bearings have two structures:
cylindrical bore and tapered bore, and the cage is made of steel plate, synthetic resin, etc. Its characteristic is that the outer ring raceway is spherical, with automatic alignment, which can compensate the errors caused by misalignment and shaft deflection, but the relative inclination of the inner and outer rings should not exceed 3 degrees.
double row self aligning ball bearing textile
The use environment of textile bearing 1206 1310 bearings is very harsh, and it also requires long life, heavy load, high speed, low noise, stable operation and so on. The developed textile bearings have excellent performance and have provided special bearings for many domestic textile factories.
The developed textile machinery can rotate stably at a high speed, and has the characteristics of small amplitude, low noise, long life, and convenient maintenance.
Self-aligning Ball Bearings are particularly suitable for applications where misalignment occurs from errors in mounting or from shaft deflection.
This bearing should only be used in light axial load applications due to the small axial capacity.
Bearings are fitted with pressed steel cage or polyamide cage.

FAQ
Due to their internal design, ball bearings cannot usually be disassembled down to the component level; therefore, they cannot usually be refurbished.
Solid base shells are manufactured without cavities and fillers; they are stronger than hollow bases, and there are no traps for bacteria and fungi to grow. In the thermoplastic shell, the sturdy base will not break under steam or high-pressure washing. The hollow base saves material and weight to reduce costs. Some people use epoxy resin to backfill the hollow base to eliminate the trap of bacteria breeding, but this will not increase the strength, will cause the installation surface to be uneven, and water will seep between the shell and the filling material, causing cracking.
Use particularly thermally stable bearing rings, larger internal clearance (C4), specially selected lubricants that will not decompose at high temperatures, and zinc anodized flinger. There are two basic versions of our high temperature bearings. The suffix “C4HR5” represents the bearing that can withstand 400°F, and the suffix “C4HR23” represents the bearing that can withstand 450°F.
For critical applications such as pulp and paper processing, printing and packaging, material tearing can cause expensive downtime due to excessive torque and vibration.
The two biggest factors affecting the starting and running torque of the bearing are the seal design and lubricant selection. The shaft and bearing seat fit, component accuracy and surface finish, and retainer design also have some influence.
In higher speed applications, non-contact sealing devices are usually required to minimize operating torque and heat generation, so oil baffle rings and secondary sealing devices are usually required. Flowing oil lubrication systems are usually the best solution.
After proper installation, most seated bearings only need to be relubricated regularly with a small amount of grease and checked to ensure that they operate at low temperatures, quietness, and sufficient accuracy.
This depends on many factors, such as the application’s load conditions, operating speed, duty cycle, temperature, and operating environment. The technical information section of this website provides some basic information. Our engineers can help you determine more specific theoretical life calculations.
When noise and/or operating temperature increase or operating accuracy decreases, bearings should be replaced.

The noise emitted by the bearing may be caused by a combination of one or more factors, such as insufficient working clearance, excessive working clearance, changes in working clearance due to temperature, damage to the contact area, contamination, inappropriate lubricants or The raceway is damaged.
Lubricants have five basic functions for bearings:
Reduce friction
Reduce wear
Reduce temperature rise
Minimize corrosion
Seal contaminants
We do not recommend mixing grease. Mixing incompatible greases will cause the mixture to harden, preventing it from releasing any oil. Mixing incompatible greases can also soften the mixture, which releases all the oil. In either case, the mixture will not be able to properly lubricate the bearing. We strongly recommend using the same type of grease originally provided with the bearing.
