Product Overview: The 1204 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1204 bearing is a robust and versatile component, part of our comprehensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With a bore diameter of 20mm, an outer diameter of 47mm, and a thickness of 14mm, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where precise shaft alignment is challenging to maintain, or where shaft deflection is a common occurrence. Its design features two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating automatic self-alignment.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 1204 bearings adhere to stringent industry standards. This guarantees reliable performance and extended longevity, even in demanding industrial environments. The 1204 bearing is crucial in a variety of machinery, providing smooth and efficient operation while minimizing friction under diverse and challenging conditions. We invite you to explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to discover the optimal solution for your industrial requirements.
