2316-C3 Self-aligning ball bearing C3

2316-C3 The 2316-C3 is a self-aligning ball bearing with an 80mm bore diameter from the 23 series. It features C3 internal radial clearance, which is greater than normal clearance, allowing for thermal expansion and misalignment compensation in operating conditions. Self-aligning ball bearings are designed to accommodate angular misalignment between shaft and housing, making them suitable for applications where shaft deflection or mounting errors are present. Common uses include agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, textile machinery, and wood processing equipment where alignment cannot be precisely maintained.
