Product Overview: The 1211 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1211 bearing is a crucial component within our extensive 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered with a bore diameter of 55 mm, an outer diameter of 100 mm, and a thickness of 21 mm, this bearing is specifically designed to manage angular misalignment that can occur between the shaft and the housing. Its inherent ability to self-align makes it an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is difficult to maintain or where dynamic shaft deflection is anticipated.
As a leading provider of industrial bearings, we ensure that our 1211 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, guaranteeing reliable performance and exceptional longevity. The unique design features two rows of balls operating on a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for angular adjustments without compromising efficiency. This self-aligning capability prevents premature wear and extends the operational life of machinery, making the 1211 bearing a valuable asset in diverse industrial settings.
Key Features of the 1211 Bearing
- Automatic Angular Alignment: Compensates for both static and dynamic angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, preventing stress and prolonging component life.
- Double Row Ball Design: Utilizes two rows of balls, providing enhanced radial and axial load-carrying capacity for demanding applications.
- Low Friction Operation: Designed for smooth, efficient rotation, which minimizes heat generation and improves overall energy efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, ensuring excellent wear resistance and robust performance in challenging industrial environments.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to industry-standard dimensions (55x100x21mm), facilitating easy interchangeability and installation.
- Vibration and Noise Reduction: Contributes to smoother machinery operation by accommodating minor misalignments, thereby reducing unwanted vibrations and noise.
Common Applications for 1211 Bearings
- Agricultural Equipment: Widely used in farm machinery like harvesters, seeders, and tractors, where operations often involve uneven ground and potential shaft misalignments.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential in material handling systems where structural flexing or settling can lead to shaft misalignment.
- Textile Machinery: Applied in various textile machines, ensuring smooth and consistent operation of rollers and spindles despite potential shaft deflections.
- Woodworking Equipment: Utilized in saws, planers, and other woodworking tools where precision and adaptability to minor misalignments are critical.
- Fans and Blowers: Ideal for industrial fans and blowers where shaft deflections due to high speeds or mounting inaccuracies can occur.
- Pumps and Compressors: Provides reliable support for rotating shafts, maintaining stable performance in fluid handling and compression systems.
- Mining and Construction Machinery: Robust enough for heavy-duty applications in environments where equipment is subject to significant loads and potential misalignments.
Benefits of Using the 1211 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Longevity: By accommodating misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on surrounding components, extending the lifespan of the entire assembly.
- Reduced Maintenance Needs: Less susceptible to premature failure caused by misalignment, leading to fewer breakdowns and lower repair costs.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Its low-friction design and ability to adapt to misalignment contribute to smoother operation and potentially lower energy consumption.
- Simplified Assembly: The self-aligning feature eases the installation process, especially in situations where achieving perfect alignment is impractical.
- Reliable Performance: Delivers consistent and dependable operation even under conditions that would cause other bearing types to fail.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial applications, providing a flexible solution for various mechanical challenges.
