Lightweight design 2306 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing

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

Knowledge and introduction of bearings

The 2306 self-aligning ball bearing is a durable and highly versatile bearing solution designed for applications that require resistance to misalignment and the ability to handle moderate loads. Its unique self-aligning feature allows for automatic compensation of shaft misalignment, making it ideal for machinery operating under fluctuating conditions or where perfect alignment is difficult to maintain. With two rows of balls and a spherical outer ring, the 2306 bearing offers enhanced stability and smooth operation, even under load or when alignment issues occur.

This self-aligning ball bearing is commonly used in electric motors, agricultural machinery, conveyors, and various other industrial applications where reliability, long service life, and ease of maintenance are critical. The open design of the bearing ensures that it is easy to lubricate, reducing downtime and maintenance costs while prolonging the bearing’s operational life.

Key Features:

• Self-Aligning Design: The spherical outer ring allows the bearing to automatically realign itself, minimizing the negative effects of misalignment and reducing wear on components. This results in more stable and efficient operation.

• High Load Capacity: The 2306 bearing is designed to handle both radial and axial loads in both directions, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications.

• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality steel, the 2306 offers exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and fatigue, making it ideal for tough operating conditions.

• Low Maintenance: The open design allows for easy lubrication and periodic maintenance, reducing the frequency of bearing replacements and lowering overall maintenance costs.

• Versatile Applications: This bearing is commonly used in electric motors, agricultural machinery, conveyors, material handling systems, and various other industrial equipment.
