ZEN Double Row Self-Aligning Ball Bearings for Unique Industrial Challenges

July 25, 2024

Discover how Global Bearing Imports can help you with ZEN Double Row Self-Aligning Ball Bearings for your unique industrial challenges in Australia.

ZEN Self Aligning Ball Bearings are renowned for their ability to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing, making them ideal for applications where precise alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain. This self-aligning capability is particularly valuable in Australian industries where harsh conditions or complex machinery setups are common.

The unique design of ZEN Self-Aligning Ball Bearings features two rows of balls that run along a spherical raceway in the outer ring. This design allows the bearing to rotate around a point at the bearing centre, effectively compensating for misalignment without increasing friction or reducing the bearing’s lifespan.
