If a ball bearing that makes light work of misalignments is on your wish list, look to this self-aligning type from SKF. It moves freely between two races to effectively manage heavy radial and axial loads in both directions. You'll find it tolerates shaft deflections and other kinds of static or dynamic positioning problems up to 2.5° with virtually no increase in friction or temperature, so it's a safe bet for complex load-bearing applications. Thanks to the unit's robust carbon-rich steel construction, you can count on it to last the course in demanding settings.

• Reference speed of 24,000r/min lets you know how fast it can go without suffering thermal degradation
• Heat-stabilised up to +120°C, so safe for use in harsh environments
• Dynamic load rating of 15.6kN means it withstands very large forces when in motion
• Fatigue load rating of 0.24kN gives you a limiting value below which bearing metal won't fatigue

• Aviation cargo systems
• Aerospace engineering
• Automotive manufacture

This bearing's internal clearance rating of CN indicates it moves freely. This means it can safely achieve rotation speeds up to 15,000r/min.
