MRC Bearings manufactures a wide range of bearing products including their self-aligning ball bearings. MRC self-aligning bearings feature two rows of balls with a common, sphered raceway positioned in the outer ring. This is what gives the bearings their ability to self align, allowing for angular misalignment of the shaft relative to its housing.
This quality makes MRC self-aligning ball bearings particularly suitable in applications in which misalignment can occur from shaft deflection or errors in mounting. Furthermore, non-sealed self-aligning ball bearings have the lowest friction of all bearing types.
Self-aligning ball bearings are suited for applications with light axial loads due to their small axial capacity. They are often used in conjunction with plummer block housings in belt conveyors, blowers, and fens. They come in both open and sealed variations, and are used in various industry applications.
