2300 Self Aligning Ball Bearing 10mm ID 35mm OD 17mm Width For Industrial Machinery

I. Product Structural Design

• Rolling Elements and Raceways: The 2300 bearing is equipped with two rows of high-precision steel balls as rolling elements. These steel balls undergo fine grinding, featuring excellent roundness and extremely low surface roughness, ensuring smooth rolling during operation and effectively reducing friction and vibration. Its inner and outer ring raceways are ingeniously designed: the inner ring has a double-groove structure, which can accurately support the two rows of steel balls respectively; the outer ring adopts a single concave spherical raceway. This special raceway design enables a clever synergy between the two rows of steel balls and the inner and outer ring raceways, allowing automatic adjustment of the axis position. Thus, it can effectively compensate for axis misalignment caused by installation errors, shaft deflection, or thermal expansion of components, demonstrating excellent self-aligning performance.
• Cage: Usually made of high-quality steel plate through stamping, its structural design is both lightweight and tough. During bearing operation, the cage can accurately guide the movement trajectory of the steel balls, avoiding collision and friction between them, ensuring uniform spacing between the steel balls, and maintaining stable operation of the bearing. In working conditions with special requirements for corrosion resistance, nylon cages are also used, which not only have good self-lubricating properties but also can effectively resist chemical corrosion, further expanding the application range of the 2300 bearing.

• Strong Self - Aligning Ability: The unique double - row ball and spherical outer ring raceway structure endows the 2300 bearing with excellent self - aligning performance, which can easily cope with angular deviations up to 3°. This feature makes it perform well in equipment such as motors and water pumps. Even if the shaft is slightly deflected or there are minor installation errors, it can ensure stable operation, effectively reduce additional stress and wear caused by misalignment, and greatly extend the overall service life of the equipment.
• High Load - Carrying Capacity: The double - row ball design significantly increases the contact points between the bearing and the load, giving it obvious advantages in bearing radial loads and being able to bear large radial forces. At the same time, it also has the ability to bear bidirectional axial loads to a certain extent. This excellent comprehensive load - carrying capacity makes the 2300 bearing widely used in various mechanical transmission systems that need to bear complex loads, such as the slewing mechanism of cranes and the transmission shaft of textile machinery.
• Low Friction and Long Service Life: High - precision rolling elements and optimized raceway design greatly reduce the friction resistance during bearing operation. This not only helps improve the transmission efficiency of the equipment and reduce energy loss but also effectively reduces bearing heating and extends its service life. In addition, high - quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes further enhance the wear resistance and fatigue strength of the bearing, enabling it to operate stably under long - term and high - load working conditions, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency, and lowering equipment operating costs.
• Good Adaptability: The 2300 bearing provides a variety of sealing forms, including open (no seal), 2RS seal (double - side rubber seal), and ZZ seal (double - side metal dust cover seal), which can be flexibly selected according to different working environments and working conditions. The open design is suitable for clean, dry environments with low sealing requirements, facilitating installation and maintenance; 2RS seal can effectively prevent dust, moisture, and impurities from entering the bearing, suitable for relatively harsh working environments; ZZ seal is mainly used for dust prevention and can also prevent foreign objects from entering to a certain extent, suitable for general industrial environments. This diversified sealing selection enables the 2300 bearing to be widely used in various industrial fields and working scenarios.

V. Installation and Maintenance Points

• Installation Points: Before installation, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the installation environment to avoid dust, impurities, and other foreign objects entering the bearing, affecting its normal operation. The processing accuracy and fit dimensions of the shaft and bearing housing are crucial, and they should be processed and selected strictly in accordance with the recommended tolerance range. During installation, professional installation tools must be used, and direct knocking on the bearing is strictly prohibited. The hot installation method or press installation method can be adopted. During hot installation, the bearing should be uniformly heated to 80℃ - 120℃, and attention should be paid to controlling the temperature to avoid excessive temperature changing the performance of the bearing material. After installation, carefully check whether the bearing installation position is correct, and use professional instruments to detect radial and axial clearances to ensure they are within the specified range.
• Lubrication Points: Selecting appropriate lubricants according to different working conditions is crucial. For general working conditions, NLGI Grade 2 lithium - based grease is a commonly used choice, and the filling amount should be controlled between 1/3 and 1/2 of the internal space of the bearing. Too much or too little grease may affect the normal operation of the bearing. In special working conditions such as high temperature, high speed, or heavy load, it is recommended to use synthetic lubricating oil and equip a complete lubrication system to ensure sufficient and continuous lubrication of the bearing during operation. At the same time, regularly check the quality and quantity of lubricants, and timely replenish or replace them to maintain good lubrication of the bearing.
• Maintenance Points: Establishing a sound regular maintenance system is the key to ensuring the long - term stable operation of the 2300 bearing. Real - time monitoring of the bearing's working status can be carried out through vibration monitoring, temperature detection, noise analysis, and other means to timely find potential fault hazards. It is generally recommended to conduct vibration detection once a week and temperature monitoring once a month. If abnormal bearing vibration, excessive temperature, or abnormal noise is found during monitoring, the machine should be shut down immediately for inspection, analyze the causes, and take corresponding maintenance measures. In addition, keep the equipment operating environment clean, especially in dusty, humid, and other harsh environments, strengthen the sealing protection of the bearing, regularly clean up debris and dust around the equipment, and reduce damage to the bearing from external factors.
