RHP self-aligning ball bearings are designed to accommodate misalignment and flexing within the shaft and housing, making them ideal for applications where alignment might be an issue. These bearings feature a double row of balls with a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing the bearing to self-align and compensate for shaft deflection and misalignment.
RHP self-aligning ball bearings can accommodate both static and dynamic misalignment, thanks to their self-aligning properties.
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.
These bearings are suitable for high-speed applications, delivering outstanding performance thanks to their cool operating temperature.
The low heat generation of this bearing means that maintenance intervals are increased and bearing life is extended.
