Subject Symbol Description
Seal type 2RS Rubber seals on both sides.
RS Rubber seal on one side.
Other technical modifications K Tapered bore.
Cage type M Brass cage.

Features

LBR recommends Self-Aligning Ball Bearings when the alignment of the shaft and housing is problematic and the shaft may bend. The outer ring has a spherical raceway and its center of curvature coincides with that of the bearing; therefore, the axis of the inner ring, balls and cage can deflect to some extent around the bearing center.

Application

Applied in heavy loading and impact loading, such as precision instruments, low noise machine, automobile, motorcycle, metallurgy, rolling mill, mine, petroleum, paper making, cement, the sugar industry and etc. Self-Aligning Ball Bearings are used for commercial ground shafting applications.

Benefits

  • Run cooler even at high speeds;
  • Easy mounting and dismounting;
  • Have the lowest friction of all rolling bearings;
  • Compensates middle error, shaft deformation and housing deformation;
  • The permissible operating speed is not dependent on the common criteria like heat generation or cage stability and strength.
