Product Overview: The 2212 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2212 bearing is a robust and efficient component, a key part of our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 60x110x28mm, it is specifically engineered to handle significant angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This capability is crucial in applications where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging or where shaft deflection is a common occurrence. Its design, featuring two rows of balls running on a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows it to self-align, reducing operational friction and preventing premature wear.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 2212 bearings meet stringent industry standards, delivering reliable and long-lasting performance in various mechanical applications. This bearing is essential for ensuring smooth and stable operation in machinery subjected to misalignment, making it a versatile solution for numerous industries. Discover our complete range of self-aligning ball bearings to find the ideal component for your specific needs.
Key Features of the 2212 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the shaft and extending the life of the machinery.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity for both radial and moderate axial loads compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered to minimize rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and improves energy efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and durability under load.
- Standardized Dimensions: Produced to universal industry standards, ensuring interchangeability with other manufacturers' parts.
- Open Design: Typically supplied as an open bearing, allowing for easy lubrication and maintenance.
Common Applications of 2212 Bearings
