172-Bearings ( With Spherical Outer Race)
172 Series spherical outer race bearings (also known as I72 spherical OD inserts) are deep groove ball bearings designed with a spherical outer race, allowing the insert to self‑align inside a matching housing. This compensates for shaft misalignment, housing inaccuracies and installation tolerances, making them 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, 6309‑2RS
These inserts provide smooth, high‑speed rotation thanks to their deep‑groove internal geometry, while the spherical OD ensures automatic alignment inside the housing. They are widely used where:
- Misalignment is unavoidable
- Housings are not perfectly machined
- Vibration causes shaft deflection
- Quick, reliable bearing replacement is required
- Long service life is needed in harsh conditions
