We all know self-aligning roller bearings because they are common in bearing market. However, as the main products of FRC's stainless steel bearings, it is natural that it produces stainless steel self aligning ball bearings.

A self-aligning ball bearing has two rows of balls and a curved raceway in the outer ring. Therefore, stainless steel bearings can be self-aligning and can withstand the angular error between the shaft and the bearing housing. It is especially suitable for working conditions where shaft deflection and misalignment are prone to occur. In addition, the friction of the self-aligning ball bearing is the lowest of all rolling bearings, making it only have a small temperature rise even at high speeds. The outer wheel track surface of the self-aligning ball bearing is spherical, and the inner wheel and the steel ball can be freely tilted to the outer wheel. Therefore, a certain degree of assembly error (non-centering) or distortion of the shaft center can be automatically adjusted without damaging the bearing.

Stainless steel bearings are available capped (with seals or shields) or open. Open bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the ring side faces.These bearings have a lower load carrying capacity than same-sized bearings made of high chromium steel.

Stainless steel bearings bring unique capabilities for food processing and packaging, beverage, medical and marine equipment.
