RBC Bearings B2024-DSA3

The RBC ShimPack® Double Acting Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearing was developed to ease the installation procedures required on the assembly line. Traditionally the bearing assembly was completed, clearance was measured, and then the assembly was disassembled, shimmed and reassembled. With the RBC ShimPack Double Acting Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearings, a spacer is preset and individually calibrated at the factory to provide the optimum amount of axial internal clearance. The use of the RBC ShimPack Double Acting Angular Contact Spherical Plain Bearing in articulated joints in place of a tapered roller bearing offers many advantages. The misalignment capable B-DSA-3 design means that costly line boring is no longer necessary. Alignment becomes less critical allowing the relaxation of bore tolerances and an easier assembly. Dirt and water, which would usually destroy a roller bearing, are more easily tolerated with the B-DSA-3 design. Misalignment from shaft and housing bore wear have less effect on the RBC ShimPack that on a roller bearing as contact geometry is critical to successful roller bearing operation.
