NSK self-aligning ball bearings are specifically designed to accommodate misalignment and shaft deflections. The spherical raceway of the outer ring allows the bearing to correct angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and machinery.
Outstanding alignment capabilities
NSK self-aligning ball bearings can accommodate both static and dynamic misalignment, thanks to their self-aligning properties.
Low coefficient of friction
Self-aligning ball bearings generate the least friction of all of the rolling bearings, meaning that their running temperature is very low. This is due to the loose conformity between the rolling elements and the outer ring.
Excellent performance at high speeds
These bearings are suitable for high-speed applications, delivering outstanding performance thanks to their cool operating temperature.
Low maintenance
The low heat generation of this bearing means that maintenance intervals are increased and bearing life is extended.
