IBC self-aligning ball bearings
Self-aligning ball bearings are double-row, self-retaining design with spherical outer ring raceways. The inner ring has two raceways that are similar to those of deep groove ball bearings. Self-aligning ball bearings can therefore be adjusted for angle and can compensate for any misalignment. They are designed for medium to high speeds and can accept small and medium axial loadings in both directions. Since they are produced with a cylindrical or tapered bore, they can be mounted to the shaft using adapter sleeves.
The principal series are the 12.., 22.. , 13.. , 23.. . Depending on the application, IBC self- aligning ball bearings can have a steel or polyamide cage, or a solid brass cage for special applications. In addition, IBC self-aligning ball bearings are available in the dimensions of the series 22.. and 23.. with seals. When considering the bearings design, it is important to know the inner construction of these bearings corresponds to the relevant narrower series 12.. and 13...
