The 2316.M RICH is a heavy-duty self-aligning ball bearing designed for high-performance industrial applications where significant shaft misalignment or deflection must be accommodated. With a substantial weight of over 6 kg and dimensions of 80 x 170 x 58 mm, this bearing belongs to the 2300 series, which is characterized by a wider profile and higher load-carrying capacity than standard self-aligning series.

The internal design consists of two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring. This geometry allows the bearing to be completely insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, preventing the buildup of damaging edge stresses. This specific model features a machined brass cage (M), guided by the rolling elements. Brass cages are superior for heavy-duty environments, offering exceptional strength, thermal stability, and vibration resistance compared to standard steel or polyamide alternatives.

The open design of the 2316.M RICH allows for efficient integration into oil or grease lubrication systems. Precision-manufactured to ensure high structural stiffness, it provides a robust solution for large-scale industrial drives and heavy machinery operating under demanding conditions.

Key Performance Advantages:

• Dynamic Self-Alignment: Automatically compensates for shaft deflections and mounting inaccuracies.
• High-Strength Brass Cage: Specifically engineered for durability in high-vibration and high-temperature applications.
• Enhanced Radial Load Support: The wide 2300 series design offers superior load distribution for heavy industrial use.
• Reduced Operational Friction: Precision-ground raceways ensure energy efficiency and low heat generation.
• RICH Engineering Excellence: Built with high-grade materials for long-term reliability and reduced maintenance intervals.

Typical Applications:

• Heavy-duty industrial fans, blowers, and air-processing units.
• Large agricultural machinery and power-take-off (PTO) assemblies.
• Textile, paper, and wood processing machinery.
• General industrial gearboxes and drivelines with long spans between supports.
