SKF RL TN series self-aligning ball bearings handle angular misalignment between shaft and housing thanks to a spherical outer ring and two rows of balls. They suit equipment where shaft deflection or mounting errors occur, such as fans, conveyors and agricultural machinery, and they carry radial loads together with moderate axial loads.

Reading the code helps you identify the bearing quickly. RL marks the self-aligning ball bearing series with a spherical outer ring. The number that follows, as in RL 4 TN9 or RL 5 TN9, points to the size or bore diameter in the series table. TN9 means a polyamide cage reinforced with glass fiber, which works at moderate temperatures and normal speeds.

These bearings appear in centrifugal fans, conveyor belts, vibrating screens, agricultural machines such as seeders and harvesters, and process equipment in food and chemical plants. The self-aligning ability makes them a fit for long shafts that deflect under load or for assemblies where the supports are not perfectly aligned. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the SKF brand.

When selecting a bearing, consider the radial and axial load, the rotation speed and the environment. Sealing matters: if dust or moisture is present, choose variants with seals or shields. Use the lubricant indicated by the manufacturer, generally a high-quality grease. At installation, check that the housing has the right sphericity for self-alignment and avoid blows that could damage the raceways. Careful initial alignment extends service life.

For equivalences, SKF RL TN series self-aligning ball bearings can be interchanged with products from other brands that follow the same international nomenclature, such as FAG, NSK or NTN, provided dimensions and tolerances match. Always verify the complete code and technical specifications before replacing one bearing with another brand. If in doubt, consult our technical team.
