A self-aligning ball bearing has two rows of balls with common spherical raceways in the outer ring. This feature endows them with the self aligning properties and permits them to work properly even with a slight misalignment of shaft relative to the housing. They are particularly suitable for application where misalignment can arise from errors in mounting or shaft deflection. These bearings are made with seal or without seal. They are also available with tapered bore and adapter sleeve.
