The double row self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls and a spherical raceway on the outer ring. Certain misalignment of the inner ring referring to the outer ring around the bearing centre will work independently of the bearing operation.
The bearings are used for applications which presume certain bore misalignment in the bearing housings or deflaction and oscillation of the shaft at long mutual distance of the bearing. The bearings are non-separable. With respect to their small contact angle and the imperfect conformity of the balls to the raceways, they are not recommended for carrying larger axial forces. The bearings are manufactured with cylindrical or tapered bores.
The boundary dimensions of the double row self-aligning ball bearings indicated in the dimension tables correspond to the international dimensional pian ISO 15. Adapter sleeve dimension correspond to dimension according to ISO 113.
The designation of the bearings in the basic design and in the modification with a tapered bore (K) is indicated in the dimension tables. Bearing differences from the basic design are indicated by additional symbols.
The double row self-aligning ball bearings are manufactured with a cylindrical or tapered bore (K), taper 1:12 as indicated in the dimension tables.
The bearings are fixed on cylindrical shafts by adapter sleeves. The designation of the adapter sleeves belonging to individual bearings is stated in the table section of this publication.
