2205 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing – The Perfect Combination of Misalignment Tolerance, Low Friction and High-Speed Reliability

2205 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is purpose-engineered to handle angular misalignment automatically, while also generating the lowest friction of any rolling bearing type.This double-row bearing is a compact yet powerful solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Misalignment Compensation – Up to 4°
  The 2205 can tolerate up to 4° of angular misalignment between the shaft and housing under normal operating conditions (with inner ring rotation). Whether caused by thermal expansion, frame flex under load, or inherent manufacturing inaccuracies, this automatic compensation capability prevents edge loading and premature failure, ensuring smooth rotation even when perfect alignment cannot be guaranteed.

• Lowest Friction
  Self-aligning ball bearings generate less friction than any other type of rolling bearing. Lower friction translates directly into several valuable benefits: less torque is lost to internal resistance, allowing equipment to run more efficiently; less heat is generated at high speeds, so the bearing stays cooler even during continuous operation; the bearing’s temperature is lower, leading to extended bearing life and maintenance intervals.

• Excellent High Speed
  2205 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is well-suited for high speed applications such as fan spindles, blower shafts and light-duty electric motors. Combined with the low friction design, high speed operation is not only possible – it is achieved with less noise and lower operating temperatures than other bearing types.

• Low Noise and Vibration
  Self-aligning ball bearings can significantly reduce noise and vibration in rotating equipment – a notable advantage in fans, blowers and residential-grade machinery where quiet operation is a customer priority.

• Supports Both Radial and Bidirectional Axial Loads
  The 2205 is designed to handle radial loads as its primary duty, but also accommodates axial loads in both directions. This dual-direction axial capability is particularly valuable in applications such as transmission shafts, conveyor rollers and fan spindles, where load directions may reverse during operation.
