Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. They are available open or sealed. The bearings are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection.

Self aligning ball bearing from JPT Bearings company are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or CARB bearings. Self-aligning ball bearings generate less friction than any other type of rolling bearing, which enables them to run cooler even at high speeds.

Here are examples of applications in which self-aligning ball bearings might be used:

→ Industrial fans

→ Agriculture

→ Material handling

→ Food and beverage

→ Pulp and paper
