Self-aligning ball bearings, as the name implies, are shaped to have an alignment function. The inner diameter is spherical, so even if the axis is tilted, it moves with the tilt and can be rotated with little force.
For example, the bearings can be used:
- When it is difficult to align the shaft with the housing.
- When the shaft becomes long and deflected.
- When you want the axis to move freely.
Plastic bearings can be used safely in situations where alignment functions are required and where no lubrication is desired or chemicals are used.
Features of plastic bearings:
- Dryness
- Water resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Non-magnetic
- Insulation
In the case of plastic bearings, if there is misalignment, deep groove bearings will have a short life due to the unbalanced load. In such cases, aligning bearings can absorb the misalignment and extend the service life.
