Balaji Bearings, one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers of self-aligning bearings, offers special bearing solutions for applications that are likely to be misused. We are a self-aligning ball bearing distributor and cater to customers in Sri Lanka, South Africa, the UAE, Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand, and Kuwait. The bearings are designed with a special spherical outer ring raceway and can be modified to deflect the shafts and mounting errors without affecting performance.

Essential uses of Self-aligning Ball Bearings

• Agricultural Machinery: In harvesters and tractors, the frame can bend and turn when in action, thus leading to misalignment of the shafts. This movement is countered by self-aligning ball bearings that ensure efficient transmission and drive parts performance.
• Long Shafts and Conveyor Systems: Conveyor belts and rollers can lateralize under pressure. These bearings inhibit untimely failure, enabling the shaft to be run without hiccups despite the bending.
• Ventilation and Air Handling Units (AHUs):These bearings are reserved in large industrial fans and blowers, but their tolerances are much broader than those of the high-speed bearings to deal with initial misalignment during installation and the slight flex of the high-speed bearings.
• Textile Machinery: Shaft velocities are high in spinning and weaving tools, and the structural frames are relatively light, resulting in slight misalignments. These conditions keep the friction low and noisy self-aligning bearings.

Characteristics of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings

• High Misalignment Compensation: The main characteristic is the outer ring, which has a continuous, spherical raceway, enabling the swivel of the inner ring, balls, and cage. This makes the bearings not overstrained by misalignment and is also dynamic.
• Minimal Friction and heat generation: Having both a low coefficient of friction when in the misalignment situation, a ball-and-raceway design can be used. This leads to lower running temperature and more energy saving than any other form of bearing in similar conditions.
• Moderate Radial Load Capacity: Although aligned, they provide a reasonable balance in radial load capacity, which applies to many general industrial machinery usage.
• Quiet Operation This spherical raceway, in combination with the intrinsic capability to eliminate edge loading (which contributes to noise), generally makes such bearings quieter in operation than others in the case of minor misalignment.
