Product Overview: The 2209 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2209 bearing is a high-performance component within our comprehensive 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Measuring with a bore diameter of 45mm, an outer diameter of 85mm, and a thickness of 34mm, this bearing is engineered to effectively manage angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing. This capability makes it an ideal choice for applications where perfect shaft alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain, or where shaft deflection is anticipated under operational loads.
Our 2209 bearings feature two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for inherent self-alignment. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2209 bearings meet stringent industry standards for reliability and durability. They are designed to deliver smooth, low-friction operation, significantly extending the lifespan of both the bearing and the machinery it supports, even in challenging industrial environments.
