172-Bearings ( With Spherical Outer Race)
Self‑Aligning Deep Groove Inserts with Spherical OD
The 172 Series (also known as I72 spherical OD inserts) are deep‑groove ball bearing designed with a spherical outer race, allowing the bearing to self‑align inside a matching housing. This compensates for shaft misalignment, housing inaccuracies, and installation tolerances, making these inserts ideal for demanding industrial, agricultural and mechanical environments.
Transpower Drives stocks the full range of 172 spherical OD bearings, including 6202‑2RS, 6203‑2RS, 6204‑2RS, 6205‑2RS, 6206‑2RS, 6207‑2RS, 6208‑2RS, 6209‑2RS, 6210‑2RS, and larger sizes — all available for same‑day collection in Wellingborough or fast UK delivery.
What 172 Spherical OD Bearings Are Designed For
These inserts are engineered for applications where:
- Misalignment is unavoidable
- Housings are not perfectly machined
- Vibration or movement causes shaft deflection
- Quick, reliable bearing replacement is required
- Long service life is needed in harsh conditions
- Their deep‑groove internal geometry provides smooth, high‑speed rotation,
- while the spherical OD ensures automatic alignment inside the housing.
