Product Overview: The 2306 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2306 bearing is a high-performance component, part of our robust 2300 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 30mm bore diameter, 72mm outer diameter, and 27mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. Its design, featuring two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allows for automatic self-alignment, making it indispensable in applications where perfect alignment is challenging to maintain or where shaft deflections are anticipated.
As a leading provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2306 bearings meet rigorous industry standards. These bearings deliver reliable performance and extended operational life even in demanding industrial settings. The 2306 is vital across various machinery, providing smooth, low-friction operation and contributing to overall system stability and longevity.
