Product Overview: The 2206 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2206 bearing is a robust and adaptable component from our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered with a 30mm bore diameter, 62mm outer diameter, and 16mm thickness, it is specifically designed to function effectively in applications where shaft deflection or housing misalignment is a concern. The bearing features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, which allows it to tolerate both static and dynamic angular misalignment. This self-aligning capability prevents excessive stress on the bearing, significantly extending its operational life and enhancing machine reliability.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality 2206 bearings that meet stringent industry standards. Their design ensures low friction and smooth operation, making them an excellent choice for a wide array of machinery. Explore our comprehensive collection of self-aligning ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific application.
Features of the 2206 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows for automatic correction of angular misalignment between the shaft and housing.
- Double-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar dimensions.
- Low-Friction Performance: Optimized internal geometry minimizes rotational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for use in a broad spectrum of industrial equipment where alignment cannot be perfectly maintained.
- Reduced Stress on Components: By accommodating misalignment, it reduces operational stress on the shaft and other machine parts.
Applications of 2206 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as combines, balers, and tractors, which operate on uneven terrain causing shaft flexing.
- Conveyor Systems: Ensures reliable roller function in long conveyor belts where structural sagging and misalignment are common.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Maintains smooth and quiet operation by compensating for shaft imbalances and deflections.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides stable support for rollers and shafts, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands harsh conditions and structural misalignments in crushers, screeners, and material handlers.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Used in machinery where robust, low-maintenance rotational support is critical.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Effectively handles the demanding environments and potential misalignments found in processing rollers.
Benefits of Using the 2206 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Uptime: The self-aligning feature reduces the risk of premature bearing failure, leading to fewer breakdowns and less downtime.
- Extended Service Life: Minimizes wear and tear caused by misalignment, prolonging the life of both the bearing and the machinery.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Its robust design and reliability decrease the need for frequent inspections, repairs, and replacements.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to smoother machine performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Installation: The ability to self-align can simplify the mounting process, as it is more forgiving of initial setup inaccuracies.
- Reliable Performance: Delivers consistent and dependable operation even under challenging conditions with unavoidable shaft deflection.
