Product Overview: The 2214 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2214 bearing is a high-performance, robust component, forming an integral part of our specialized 2200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 70mm bore diameter, 125mm outer diameter, and 31mm thickness, this bearing is expertly engineered to compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This crucial feature makes it an ideal choice for machinery where perfect alignment cannot be consistently maintained or where shaft deflection is a common occurrence.
Our 2214 bearings are designed with two rows of balls and a spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for inherent self-alignment. This construction ensures smooth and efficient operation, minimizing friction and extending the lifespan of both the bearing and the associated machinery. As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2214 self-aligning ball bearings meet rigorous industry standards, providing reliable and long-lasting performance in various challenging industrial environments. Discover our full selection of self-aligning ball bearings to support your critical applications.
