Product Overview: The 2213 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2213 bearing is a robust and efficient component from our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 65x120x31mm, it is engineered to handle significant radial loads while accommodating both static and dynamic angular misalignment. This capability stems from its innovative design, which features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This allows the inner ring, balls, and cage to rotate freely around the bearing center, compensating for shaft deflection or mounting errors without inducing stress on the bearing.
As a trusted supplier of industrial and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 2213 bearings meet stringent industry standards for quality and performance. They are an excellent solution for applications where maintaining perfect alignment between the shaft and housing is a challenge, ensuring smoother operation and extended machinery life. Explore our complete range of self-aligning ball bearings to find the ideal component for your needs.
Key Features of the 2213 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically corrects for angular misalignment, reducing wear and extending the bearing's service life.
- Dual Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low Friction Operation: Engineered to minimize rotational friction, resulting in lower operating temperatures and reduced energy consumption.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Open Design: Typically supplied as an open bearing, allowing for easy lubrication and maintenance.
- Tapered Bore Option: Available with a tapered bore (designated with a 'K' suffix) for mounting with an adapter sleeve on plain shafts.
Common Applications of 2213 Bearings
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ideal for supporting long shafts that may experience deflection during operation.
- Conveyor Systems: Effectively manages misalignment in roller shafts caused by frame distortion or heavy loads.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in equipment like combines and balers where rugged conditions can cause shaft misalignment.
- Textile and Printing Presses: Ensures smooth rotation of rollers and cylinders, maintaining operational precision.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Provides reliable performance in heavy-duty machinery subjected to harsh environments.
- Pulp and Paper Processing: Suitable for machinery where moisture and operational stresses can affect alignment.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Accommodates minor shaft misalignments, protecting gears and other internal components.
Benefits of Using the 2213 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: The ability to handle misalignment reduces the risk of premature bearing failure and costly downtime.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Its robust design and self-aligning nature lead to a longer operational life and fewer replacements.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother machinery performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The self-aligning feature makes mounting easier and more forgiving of small errors in shaft or housing alignment.
- Versatile Performance: Performs reliably across a wide range of applications and challenging operating conditions.
- Cost-Effective Solution: By preventing stress and wear on associated components, it helps lower the total cost of ownership for machinery.
