Product Overview: The 2215 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2215 bearing is a robust and highly adaptable component, prominently featured within our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Designed with a bore diameter of 75mm, an outer diameter of 130mm, and a thickness of 31mm, this bearing is engineered to effectively manage angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This capability makes it an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain, or where shaft deflection is anticipated under operational loads. Its construction features two rows of rolling elements and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating its unique self-aligning property.
As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2215 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They deliver consistent, reliable performance and extended operational life even in challenging industrial environments. This bearing type is crucial for maintaining smooth machine operation and minimizing friction across a diverse range of machinery. Discover our comprehensive selection of self-aligning ball bearings to find the optimal solution for your specific industrial requirements.
