Product Overview: The 2214 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 2214 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a robust and reliable component designed with a 70mm bore diameter, 125mm outer diameter, and 31mm thickness. As a key part of our 2200 Series, this bearing excels in applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors can cause misalignment. Its innovative design, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows it to accommodate both static and dynamic angular misalignment, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 2214 bearing is engineered for durability and extended service life in demanding industrial environments. It is particularly effective in reducing friction and operational stress on machinery, making it an essential component for a wide range of equipment. This bearing can be mounted on either a straight or tapered shaft (using an adapter sleeve), offering versatile installation options.
