Product Overview: The 2309 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2309 bearing is a robust and versatile component within our comprehensive 2300 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, this bearing is an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is difficult to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated. Its intelligent design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating automatic self-alignment. With standard dimensions of 45mm bore diameter, 100mm outer diameter, and 36mm thickness, the 2309 bearing delivers reliable performance in various industrial settings.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2309 bearings adhere to stringent industry standards, offering consistent performance and extended operational life even in demanding conditions. This type of bearing is crucial for maintaining smooth operation and reducing friction in diverse machinery. For optimal mounting and longevity, consider pairing this bearing with compatible adapter sleeves like the H 2309 and appropriate lock nuts such as KM 09 or MB 09. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to meet your specific industrial requirements.
