Self Aligning Bearings

With double ball rows and a spherical raceway in the outer ring, self-aligning ball bearings can compensate for installation errors or shaft misalignment. Useful for applications requiring high rotating speeds while exercising moderate radial, and moderate or low axial loading. Available in cylindrical bore or taper bore (K suffix). Clearance is standardised (ISO 5753). The values are different for cylindrical bore and tapered bore bearings (suffix K). The latter have a significantly larger clearance to allow the reduction in clearance resulting from the adapter sleeves interference fit.
