Product Overview: The 1209 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1209 bearing is a high-performance component from our comprehensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. This versatile bearing is engineered with a 45 mm bore diameter, an 85 mm outer diameter, and a 19 mm thickness, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial applications. Its unique design features two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing it to automatically compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This crucial capability prevents premature wear and ensures smooth, reliable operation even when precise shaft alignment cannot be maintained or where shaft deflection is expected during operation.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we offer 1209 bearings manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring exceptional performance and extended service life in demanding environments. The self-aligning feature of the 1209 bearing is invaluable for machinery where operational conditions may lead to misalignment, contributing to overall system stability and efficiency. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to find robust solutions for your specific industrial requirements.
