The SKF EM series self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row ball bearing with a spherical outer raceway, which allows it to self-align and absorb angular misalignment between shaft and housing. It is used in applications where mounting is not perfect or the shaft flexes, such as fans, pumps, conveyors and agricultural machinery. Its robust design withstands moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this series as an official brand, with technical advice to choose the right size.
The EM series designation is read by the basic number and the suffix. For example, 1206 EM, 1308 EM, 2307 EM, 2308 EM and 2309 EM share the EM suffix, which indicates an execution with machined brass cage and higher-capacity balls. The first digit or digits identify the type and dimensional series: 12, 13 and 23 correspond to different width-to-diameter ratios. The last two digits indicate the bore diameter in coded form. To interpret each code in detail, ask us with the full number.
These bearings are used in equipment where there is misalignment or shaft flexing. In Argentina they are found in industrial fans, centrifugal pumps, belt conveyors, food industry machines, milling equipment and agricultural machinery. Also in dryers, mixers and transmission systems where the housing is not perfectly rigid. Their self-aligning capability reduces wear and extends service life in the face of mountings with small parallelism or angularity errors.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the radial and axial load, the rotational speed and the environment. Sealing is key: if there is dust or moisture, choose variants with seals or shields. Lubrication must be adequate and renewed according to the duty cycle. During mounting, verify initial alignment and avoid impacts that damage the balls or the raceway. Incorrect fitting can cancel the self-aligning capability. If you have doubts, send us your equipment data and we will advise you.
As for equivalents, self-aligning ball bearings from different brands share standardized dimensions, so they are usually interchangeable if the type, dimensional series and execution suffix match. However, not all brands offer exactly the same cage, sealing or internal clearance variants. Therefore, before replacing, compare the full code and the service conditions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we supply SKF as an official brand and can guide you on the right alternative for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the EM suffix mean on an SKF self-aligning ball bearing?
- The EM suffix indicates an execution with machined brass cage and higher load capacity balls. This configuration is common in demanding applications where robustness and heat dissipation are required. To confirm the exact variant of your bearing, it is necessary to see the full code.
- How do I choose between a self-aligning ball bearing and a deep groove ball bearing?
- Choose a self-aligning ball bearing when the shaft may flex or the housing is not perfectly aligned, because its spherical raceway allows self-alignment. If alignment is precise and there is no misalignment, a deep groove ball bearing may be sufficient and more economical. Also consider loads and speeds.
- Are SKF EM series self-aligning ball bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, in general they are interchangeable if the standardized dimensions, type and execution suffix match. But the cage, sealing or internal clearance may vary between manufacturers. Before replacing, compare the full code and ask us to ensure compatibility.
