Ball Bearings: Self-Aligning Ball Bearings
Self-aligning ball bearings are special class of bearings designed for applications where shaft deflections or misalignments are likely. This bearing design utilizes two adjacent rows of ball bearings in the same race, thereby ensuring consistent contact in the event of atypical shaft movements. The self-aligning ball bearing concept was invented by SKF Group, a leading provider of bearing and seal packages.
