Product Overview: The 2206 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2206 bearing is a robust and essential component in our 2200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings line. With dimensions of 30mm bore diameter, 62mm outer diameter, and 20mm thickness, this bearing is specifically engineered to accommodate angular misalignment that can occur between a shaft and its housing. This capability makes it ideal for applications where perfect shaft alignment is difficult to maintain, or where shafts might deflect under load. Its design features two rows of balls and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing the inner ring to pivot relative to the outer ring, thus providing automatic self-alignment. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings, we provide 2206 bearings that meet high industry standards, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance in various challenging industrial environments. Our range of self-aligning ball bearings offers solutions for diverse mechanical needs, ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear.
