Product Overview: The 2212 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2212 bearing is a critical component within our comprehensive 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Specifically designed with a bore diameter of 60 mm, an outer diameter of 110 mm, and a thickness of 28 mm, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing. This feature is particularly vital in applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are anticipated, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature wear.
As a leading provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2212 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards. Their robust construction and unique internal design, featuring two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allow them to maintain performance and extend the lifespan of machinery even under challenging conditions. The 2212 bearing offers reliable support and reduced friction, making it an indispensable component across various industrial sectors. Explore our wide selection of self-aligning ball bearings to meet your specific operational requirements.

- Textile Machinery: Essential for supporting rollers and spindles, accommodating deflections and ensuring smooth fabric production.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for use in conveyor rollers and idlers, where structural flexing or installation inaccuracies can lead to misalignment.
- Fans and Blowers: Applied in various ventilation systems to maintain stable and quiet operation despite potential shaft deflections.
- Food Processing Equipment: Utilized in machinery requiring reliable rotational support in environments with varying operational conditions and potential for minor misalignments.
- Packaging Machinery: Supports rotating components, ensuring precise and consistent operation in automated packaging lines.
Benefits of Using the 2212 Bearing
- Improved Machine Reliability: By compensating for misalignment, the bearing reduces strain on other components, leading to fewer unexpected downtimes.
- Extended Service Life: Minimizes premature wear caused by misalignment, thereby prolonging the operational life of both the bearing and the associated machinery.
- Reduced Maintenance Needs: The self-aligning capability lessens the likelihood of early failure, contributing to lower maintenance frequency and costs.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Its low-friction design supports smooth movement, potentially leading to energy savings and improved mechanical performance.
- Simplified Mounting: The inherent ability to self-align simplifies the installation process, especially in setups where achieving perfect alignment is difficult.
- Consistent Performance: Delivers reliable and stable performance even when exposed to conditions that induce angular deviations of the shaft.
