Great for misalignment and low noise. With two rows of balls and a spherical outer ring, self-aligning ball bearings adjust to shaft misalignment. Available in open or sealed types, they reduce noise and vibration-ideal for fans, pumps, and similar equipment.
Built for axial load support. Thrust ball bearings are made to handle axial (one-direction or both-direction) loads only. They’re available in single and double direction types, and versions with spherical housing washers can accommodate slight misalignment.
