Timken® Self-Aligning Ball Bearings

Timken Self-Aligning Ball Bearings deliver superior performance for applications where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies occur. Engineered to handle up to 3° misalignment (1.5° for sealed versions), these bearings maintain reliability without sacrificing lifespan. Featuring cooler-running polymer cages for improved lubricant flow and reduced friction, they ensure longer grease life and consistent operation at high speeds. Available in open or sealed designs, with cylindrical or tapered bores and normal (C0) or C3 clearance, Timken bearings are ISO-compliant and interchangeable with competitor metric products.
