Need a ball bearing that can cope with initial misalignment and accommodate shaft deflection while running? This SKF self-aligning ball bearing offers the versatility you need. As a double-row ball bearing, it's capable of handling a large radial load combined with a small axial load operating in both directions. It's made from steel that offers durability as well as corrosion resistance, so it's suitable for use in damp or humid settings. A fibreglass-reinforced polyamide cage maintains the radial space between the balls and combines strength with light weight.

• Dynamic load rating of 14.3kN makes it suitable for carrying heavy loads
• Open ends allow easy relubrication

• Cereal mills
• Industrial fans
• Centrifugal separators

An open-ended bearing gives the lubricant more freedom to move than a sealed bearing, which enables it to run faster and more efficiently. It's a good choice for use in a clean environment where performance is a priority. A sealed bearing is a more suitable option for use in dusty and dirty environments, as the seals prevent contaminants from entering the ball race and compromising the unit's efficiency.
