Product Overview: The 1212 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1212 bearing is a crucial component within our comprehensive 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. This versatile bearing, with dimensions of 60mm bore, 100mm outer diameter, and 20mm thickness, is expertly engineered to handle angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is difficult to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated during operation. Its design features a spherical outer ring raceway and two rows of balls, enabling it to self-align and prevent the buildup of damaging stresses.
As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 1212 bearings adhere to stringent industry standards. They deliver consistent, reliable performance and extended operational life, even in challenging industrial environments. The self-aligning capability of the 1212 bearing is vital in diverse machinery, promoting smooth rotational motion and minimizing friction, which in turn reduces wear on both the bearing and adjacent components. Explore our extensive range of self-aligning ball bearings for robust solutions to your industrial challenges.
Key Features of the 1212 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Compensation: Designed to effortlessly accommodate static and dynamic angular misalignment between the shaft and its housing, safeguarding against premature failure.
- Dual Row Ball Configuration: Features two rows of precision-ground balls, significantly enhancing its load-carrying capacity compared to single-row designs.
- Low Friction Operation: Engineered for exceptionally smooth rotation, which reduces heat generation, minimizes energy consumption, and contributes to a longer service life.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, ensuring superior wear resistance and reliable performance under continuous heavy-duty use.
- Precision Manufacturing: Produced to exact dimensional tolerances, guaranteeing consistent performance and ease of interchangeability.
Common Applications of 1212 Bearings
