Self aligning ball bearings with extended inner ring

What are the benefits of using self aligning ball bearings with an extended inner ring?

Self-aligning ball bearings with an extended inner ring are designed for use on low-demand applications which use commercial grade shafting. These bearings are located on the shaft through a slot at one side of the inner ring which allows it to be fixed in place with a pin or screw.

Benefits of these bearings include:

• Self-aligning and self-centring, thanks to the two rows of balls which run on a concave outer raceway
• Accommodating of both static and dynamic misalignment
• Outstanding performance at high speeds
• Lower operating temperature which leads to reduced maintenance requirements
• Low minimum load requirements
• Extended inner race to facilitate location via keyway
• Low noise
• Reduced coefficient of friction

Where are self aligning ball bearings with an extended inner ring used?

These bearings are used in high speed applications which have a low to medium load, such as fans.
