Product Overview: The 2215 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2215 bearing is a robust and reliable component designed to handle demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our 2200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, it excels in environments where shaft deflection or misalignment is a concern. Featuring a 75mm bore diameter, a 130mm outer diameter, and a 31mm thickness, this bearing is engineered with two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This innovative design allows the bearing to automatically correct for angular misalignments, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature wear on machinery.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 2215 is built for durability and longevity. Its self-aligning capability makes it an essential component for a wide range of equipment, reducing friction and operational stress even under challenging conditions. For applications requiring a tapered bore for mounting with an adapter sleeve, please see our related products for compatible sleeves like the H 315.
Key Features of the 2215 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress on the assembly.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational resistance, which reduces heat generation and improves energy efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel to ensure excellent wear resistance and a long service life.
- Standardized Dimensions: Produced according to international standards for easy interchangeability and system integration.
- Open Design: Allows for easy lubrication and maintenance, suitable for various operating environments.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in harvesters, combines, and tractors where shafts are subject to flexing and misalignment.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable operation of rollers and pulleys, even with structural deflections.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflections common in large fan assemblies, promoting quieter and smoother operation.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides stable support for rollers and shafts, maintaining precision in high-speed operations.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands harsh conditions and misalignments in crushers, screens, and mixers.
- Pulp and Paper Processing: Functions reliably in machinery where moisture and operational stresses can cause alignment issues.
- Power Transmission Systems: A versatile choice for gearboxes and drives where shaft alignment cannot be perfectly maintained.
Benefits of Using the 2215 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: The ability to handle misalignment reduces the risk of bearing failure and costly equipment downtime.
- Extended Service Life: By minimizing edge stresses and friction, the self-aligning design significantly prolongs the life of the bearing and related components.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Its robust design and tolerance for misalignment lead to fewer maintenance intervals and lower repair costs.
- Simplified Mounting: The self-aligning feature can simplify the installation process, as it is more forgiving of initial alignment inaccuracies.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother machinery performance and potential energy savings.
- Versatile and Adaptable: Suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications, making it a valuable and versatile inventory item.
