NTN CZPT CZPT 2209-2RS 2210-2RS 2211-2RS Self Aligning Ball Bearings for Woodworking Machines
Self aligning ball bearing is a kind of bearing with spherical ball between the inner ring of 2 raceways and the outer ring with spherical raceway.
The curvature center of the outer ring raceway surface is consistent with the bearing center, so it has the same self-aligning function as the automatic self-aligning ball bearing. When the shaft and shell are flexed, it can be adjusted automatically without increasing the bearing load. Self aligning roller bearing can bear radial load and axial load in 2 directions. Radial load capacity, suitable for heavy load, shock load. The inner diameter of the inner ring is a taper hole bearing, which can be directly installed. Or it can be installed on the cylindrical shaft by using the fastening sleeve and the dismounting cylinder. The cages are made of steel stamping cages, polyamide forming cages and copper alloy car cages.
The self-aligning ball bearing has cylindrical hole and conical hole. The cage is made of steel plate and synthetic resin. Its feature is that the outer ring raceway is spherical, with automatic self-aligning, which can compensate the error of self-aligning ball bearing caused by different centrality and shaft deflection, but the relative inclination of the inner and outer rings shall not exceed 3 degrees.
It can bear large radial load and certain axial load. The outer ring raceway of this kind of bearing is spherical, so it has self-aligning performance. When the shaft is bent or tilted, the relative inclination between the inner ring center line and the outer ring center line is not more than 1 ° to 2.5 °, the bearing can still work.
There are 2 kinds of bore in self-aligning ball bearings: cylindrical bore and conical bore. The taper of conical inner hole is 1:12 or 1:30. In order to enhance the lubrication performance of the bearing, an annular oil groove and 3 oil holes are machined on the outer ring of the bearing.

Stainless steel bearings are corrosion-resistant and suitable for applications where moisture, chemicals, or exposure to harsh environments are concerns. AISI 440C offers high hardness and corrosion resistance, while AISI 304 and AISI 316 provide good corrosion resistance and are often used in food and medical industries.
- Ceramic:
Ceramic bearings use silicon nitride (Si3N4) or zirconia (ZrO2) balls. Ceramic materials offer high stiffness, low density, and excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. Ceramic bearings are commonly used in high-speed and high-temperature applications, such as in aerospace and racing industries.
- Plastic (Polyamide, PEEK):
Plastic bearings are lightweight and offer good corrosion resistance. Polyamide bearings are commonly used due to their low friction and wear properties. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) bearings provide high-temperature resistance and are suitable for demanding environments.
- Bronze:
Bronze bearings are often used in applications where self-lubrication is required. Bronze has good thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Bearings made from bronze are commonly used in machinery requiring frequent starts and stops.
- Hybrid Bearings:
Hybrid bearings combine steel rings with ceramic balls. These bearings offer a balance between the advantages of both materials, such as improved stiffness and reduced weight. Hybrid bearings are used in applications where high speeds and low friction are essential.
- Specialty Alloys:
For specific applications, specialty alloys may be used to meet unique requirements. For example, bearings used in extreme temperatures or corrosive environments may be made from materials like titanium or hastelloy.
- Coated Bearings:
Bearings may also be coated with thin layers of materials like diamond-like carbon (DLC) or other coatings to enhance performance, reduce friction, and improve wear resistance.
The choice of material depends on factors such as application requirements, operating conditions, load, speed, and environmental factors. Selecting the right material is essential for ensuring optimal bearing performance, longevity, and reliability in diverse industries and applications.
What Role do Seals and Shields Play in Protecting Ball Bearings from Dirt and Debris?
Seals and shields are critical components of ball bearings that play a crucial role in protecting them from dirt, debris, moisture, and contaminants in various applications. These protective features help maintain the integrity of the bearing’s internal components and ensure reliable operation. Here’s how seals and shields contribute to bearing protection:
- Contaminant Exclusion:
Seals and shields create a physical barrier between the external environment and the bearing’s interior. They prevent dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants from entering the bearing and coming into contact with the rolling elements and raceways.

Overall, seals and shields play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and performance of ball bearings. By effectively preventing contaminants from entering and preserving lubrication, they ensure the smooth and reliable operation of machinery and equipment in a wide range of applications.
What is a Ball Bearing and How does it Function in Various Applications?
A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to reduce friction between moving parts and support radial and axial loads. It consists of an outer ring, an inner ring, a set of balls, and a cage that separates and maintains a consistent spacing between the balls. Here’s how ball bearings function in various applications:
- Reduction of Friction:
Ball bearings function by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction. The smooth, spherical balls minimize the contact area between the inner and outer rings, resulting in lower friction and reduced heat generation.
- Radial and Axial Load Support:
Ball bearings are designed to support both radial loads (forces perpendicular to the shaft’s axis) and axial loads (forces parallel to the shaft’s axis). The distribution of balls within the bearing ensures load-carrying capacity in multiple directions.
- Smooth Rotational Movement:
Ball bearings facilitate smooth and precise rotational movement. The rolling motion of the balls allows for controlled and continuous rotation with minimal resistance.
- Applications in Machinery:
Ball bearings are used in a wide range of machinery and equipment, including motors, generators, gearboxes, conveyors, and fans. They enable the efficient transfer of motion while reducing wear and energy losses.
- Automotive Industry:
Ball bearings are extensively used in automobiles for various applications, including wheel hubs, transmission systems, steering mechanisms, and engine components. They provide reliability and durability in challenging automotive environments.
- Industrial Machinery:
In industrial settings, ball bearings support rotating shafts and ensure the smooth operation of equipment such as pumps, compressors, and machine tools.
- High-Speed Applications:
Ball bearings are suitable for high-speed applications due to their low friction and ability to accommodate rapid rotation. They are used in applications like electric motors and aerospace components.
- Precision Instruments:
For precision instruments, such as watches, cameras, and medical devices, ball bearings provide accurate rotational movement and contribute to the overall performance of the instrument.
- Variety of Sizes and Types:
Ball bearings come in various sizes, configurations, and materials to suit different applications. Different types include deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, thrust ball bearings, and more.
In summary, ball bearings are essential components in a wide range of applications where smooth rotation, load support, and reduced friction are critical. Their versatility, reliability, and efficiency make them indispensable in industries spanning from automotive to industrial machinery to precision instruments.
