2301 SKF Self-Aligning Ball Bearing - 12x37x12 mm | Reliable Solution for Misalignment and Light Load Applications

Self-aligning ball bearing
Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. They are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection.

    Accommodate static and dynamic misalignment
    Excellent high-speed performance
    Excellent light load performance
    Low friction
