In a self-aligning bearing positioning and supporting one end of a
rotation shaft in an axial direction and allowing the rotation shaft to
bend, the bearing is structured as a double row cylindrical roller
bearing with aligning ring, a first row of cylindrical roller group is
positioned by being held in an axial direction between a radially inward
flange provided in an intermediate portion in an axial direction of an
outer ring having an outer peripheral surface formed in a spherical
surface shape, and a flange provided in one outer end of two inner rings,
and a second row of cylindrical roller group is positioned by being held
in the axial direction between the flange of the outer ring and a flange
provided in another outer ends of the two inner rings.
