Product Overview: The 2207 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2207 bearing is a robust and reliable component from our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered with principal dimensions of a 35mm bore diameter, 72mm outer diameter, and 23mm thickness, it is specifically designed to handle applications where shaft-to-housing misalignment is a concern. The bearing features a unique internal construction with two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This design allows the bearing to automatically correct for angular misalignments, whether static or dynamic, ensuring smooth operation and preventing excessive stress on the shaft and other components.
As a specialist supplier of industrial parts, we provide high-quality 2207 bearings that meet stringent industry standards. Their ability to compensate for shaft deflection makes them indispensable in a wide range of machinery, reducing friction, minimizing wear, and extending the service life of your equipment. Explore our complete collection of self-aligning ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific application.
Key Features of the 2207 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows the inner ring, balls, and cage to rotate freely, compensating for significant angular misalignment.
- Double Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar size.
- Low Frictional Resistance: Precision engineering ensures minimal friction, which reduces operating temperature and energy consumption.
- High-Grade Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability, hardness, and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Versatile Performance: Suitable for applications with considerable shaft deflection or where mounting errors are likely to occur.
- Reduced Edge Stresses: The self-aligning capability prevents the buildup of edge stresses, prolonging the bearing's operational life.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in harvesters, tractors, and other farm equipment where shafts are subject to flexing and misalignment.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable operation of rollers and pulleys, even in long conveyor runs with potential shaft deflection.
