Product Overview: The 2211 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2211 bearing is a crucial component within our extensive 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 55mm bore diameter, 100mm outer diameter, and 25mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This capability makes it indispensable in applications where perfect alignment is challenging to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated during operation. Its design features two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for inherent self-alignment, which prevents premature wear and ensures smooth, reliable performance.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2211 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They are manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, guaranteeing durability and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. This self-aligning property not only simplifies installation but also significantly extends the service life of both the bearing and the machinery it supports, making it a cost-effective and dependable choice for various industrial applications. Explore our full selection of self-aligning ball bearings to discover robust solutions for your specific industrial needs.
