Product Overview: The 2315 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2315 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a robust and high-performance component designed for demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our 2300 Series, this bearing features a 75mm bore diameter, 130mm outer diameter, and a 31mm thickness. Its standout characteristic is the tapered bore (1:12 taper), which allows for secure and precise mounting onto a shaft using a corresponding H 2315 adapter sleeve. The dual-row ball design and spherical outer ring raceway enable the bearing to accommodate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, making it indispensable in machinery where shaft deflection or mounting errors are common.
Engineered for reliability, the 2315 bearing is manufactured from high-grade bearing steel to withstand heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. It is an essential solution for ensuring smooth operation and extending the service life of equipment in challenging environments.

Key Features of the 2315 Bearing
- Tapered Bore: Designed for use with an adapter sleeve, allowing for easy mounting on cylindrical shafts and ensuring a tight, secure fit.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and other machine components.
- Dual-Row Construction: Two rows of balls provide a high capacity for radial loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Low Friction Performance: The internal geometry is optimized to minimize rotational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
- High-Grade Steel: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability, wear resistance, and long operational life.
- Versatile Load Handling: Capable of accommodating both heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in either direction.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for use in crushers, vibrating screens, and heavy-duty conveyor systems where shaft flexing is prevalent.
- Agricultural Machinery: Reliably supports components in harvesters, tractors, and other farm equipment operating on uneven terrain.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures stable and quiet operation by absorbing misalignments caused by thermal expansion or structural shifts.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Essential for rollers and processing machinery that require robust bearings to handle harsh conditions and misalignment.
- Textile Machinery: Provides smooth and reliable support for shafts and rollers in spinning and weaving machines.
- Lifting and Material Handling Equipment: Used in cranes, hoists, and pulley systems to manage heavy loads and potential misalignments.
Benefits of Using the 2315 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, it prevents premature wear and failure, leading to less downtime.
- Simplified Installation: Mounting with an adapter sleeve allows for use on commercial-grade shafts without special machining, simplifying the assembly process.
- Extended Service Life: The self-aligning feature minimizes edge stresses on the balls and raceways, significantly prolonging the bearing's lifespan.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Its robust design and ability to perform in imperfect conditions decrease the need for frequent inspections and replacements.
- Optimal Performance Under Load: Maintains efficiency and smooth operation even when subjected to shaft deflection and heavy loads.
