Self-Aligning Bearing Spec Table
Self-Aligning Bearing Specifications — 15 sizes
KS B 2001ISO 15JIS B 1523
A self-aligning bearing that accommodates shaft misalignment between inner and outer rings, suited for long shafts and multi-support structures.
Practical Notes
- Absorbs up to 2–3° misalignment. Ideal for long shafts or where housing alignment is difficult.
- Limited axial load capacity — do not use where significant thrust loads apply.
Selection Guide
Accommodates shaft deflection and housing misalignment (up to 2–3°). Ideal for long shafts, multi-support systems, and low-precision housings. Limited axial load capacity — not suitable for heavy thrust loads.

Key Features
- Spherical outer raceway compensates up to 2–3° misalignment (shaft deflection)
- Series 1200/2200 (self-aligning ball) / 1300/2300 (self-aligning roller) distinguished
- Double-row ball arrangement for stable rotation; axial load capacity is limited
Key Applications
Agricultural machine drive shafts, textile machine rollers, mining conveyors, long fan shafts, multi-support shafts
FAQ
How does self-aligning work?
Spherical outer ring raceway allows normal ball rolling even when the inner ring tilts. Absorbs up to 2–3° misalignment.
