 Double 
row self-aligning ball bearings have a sphere raceway in the outer ring and a 
double raceway in the inner ring. This feature give the bearings their 
self-aligning property, permitting angular misalignment of the shaft relative to 
the housing. They are therefore particularly suitable for applications where 
misalignment can arise from errors in mounting or from shaft deflection. 
         
        
Double row self-aligning ball bearings are mainly used to carry radial loads and 
light axial loads, but can't carry pure axial loads. 			 |
