These bearings are designed to accommodate shaft deflection when running and will also cope with initial misalignment. The double row bearing is designed primarily to withstand radial load with a small capacity for axial load. Also available with ring seals (rubbing seals) made from oil-resistant, non-wearing synthetic rubber with steel reinforcement on both sides (Type 2RS1).

ETN9 and KTN9 are Open self-aligning bearings without a seal available in parallel or Taper bores.

2RS1TN9 are sealed (NBR) bearings packed with grease with a lithium thickener suitable for temperatures from -40°C to + 100°C. They are sealed for life, so should not be heated above 80°C before mounting and must not be washed out under any circumstances.

TN suffix denotes polyamide cage

To efficiently handle shaft deflections or misalignment, choose this innovative self-aligning ball bearing from SKF. Featuring two rows, it's a perfect solution for high-speed applications where you need to support low axial loads in both directions. The sealed bearing prevents dust from getting in and comes pre-greased for effortless maintenance. High-grade balls and advanced raceways are on hand to give you smooth, quiet operation and reliably long service. This product has been tested for quality and adherence to British and EU electrostatic discharge standards.

Use these bearings where two single-row ball bearings in a back-to-back 'O' arrangement sustain axial loads in both directions. They're especially convenient when axial space is limited.
