Product Overview: The 2204 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2204 bearing is a high-performance component from our renowned 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Measuring 20mm bore diameter, 47mm outer diameter, and 18mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This crucial feature makes it an ideal choice for applications where mounting errors or shaft deflection are anticipated, preventing premature wear and extending machinery lifespan. Its robust design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for smooth, self-correcting operation.
As a leading provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2204 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards. They deliver consistent, reliable performance even in demanding operational environments. The 2204 self-aligning ball bearing is a vital component across various industrial sectors, contributing to reduced friction and enhanced operational stability.
