This self-aligning ball bearing from SKF helps protect your equipment from shock loads by compensating for small amounts of misalignment between a shaft and its housing. It's designed to withstand heavy radial loads and has a small capacity for axial loads as well, so it can accommodate shaft deflections from two directions. The unit provides excellent performance at high speeds, thanks to its low friction. This means the bearing generates only minimal heat, which extends its working life and reduces the need for maintenance. Due to its low minimum-load requirements, this bearing is ideal for light axial load applications.

It's designed to resist the common causes of bearing failure. Seals prevent lubricant from escaping and dust particles from getting in, reducing friction, vibration and excess heat. It’s also self-aligning, so it can handle occasional excess loads and shocks.
