172-Bearings ( With Spherical Outer Race)
The 172-Bearings with Spherical Outer Race are a specialized type of deep groove ball bearing designed to fit into housings that allow for self-alignment. Here's a quick breakdown of what makes them unique:
⚙️What Are 172-Bearings?
- Series: "172" refers to a standardized bearing series used in various industrial applications.
- Spherical Outer Race: The outer surface of the bearing is curved (spherical), allowing it to sit in a matching spherical housing. This design helps accommodate shaft misalignment.
- Sealed Design: Most 172 bearings come with rubber seals (2RS) on both sides to protect against dust and moisture.
- Pre-lubricated: Typically filled with grease for maintenance-free operation.
🏭Typical Uses
- Agricultural machinery
- Conveyor systems
- Fans and blowers
- Industrial gearboxes
Their ability to handle misalignment and resist contamination makes them a go-to choice for rugged environments.
