The inner ring races are inclined at an angle to the bearing axis.
· Constructionally, the bearings are self-aligning and are consequently insensitive to changes in the alignment of the shaft relative to the housing  . They also have the ability to take of shaft bends to a certain extent. Based on the type of the series these bearings can handle misalignments upto 2.5 Degrees.
· They construction enables them to take up combined (axial and radial) loads in both the directions.
· Due to the conformity of the concave surface in the outer race and the convex surface in the inner race, a uniform load distribution is attained in the bearing.
· Cages like other bearings is available in this bearing to ensure the proper placing and holding of the rolling elements and preventing them from bumping against each other. The cages are normally separate for each row of the rolling element.
