Make light work of shaft misalignments with the help of this self-aligning ball bearing from SKF. Its rolling parts move freely in two rows to manage radial and axial loads in either direction. They're made of bearing steel, which contains carbon to make the balls especially long-lasting in demanding industrial applications. As this is a self-aligning unit, you'll find it handles shaft deflections and other static or dynamic positioning issues as severe as 2.5° with little or no hike in friction. This helps keep temperatures low and makes this a practical pick when you're working with complex load-bearing assemblies.

• SKF bearing steel is heat-stabilised up to +120°C, making it a great shout for harsh settings
• Dynamic load rating of 7.41kN so withstands large forces when in motion
• CN internal clearance means it moves freely to achieve limiting speeds of 28,000r/min

• Robotics systems
• Agricultural machinery
• Aerospace engineering

No, thanks to its low-friction design that eliminates the need for lubrication, there's no need to service this bearing regularly.
