Product Overview: The 1213 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1213 bearing is a high-performance component within our comprehensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered with dimensions of 65mm bore diameter, 120mm outer diameter, and 23mm thickness, this bearing is specifically designed to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This critical feature makes it an ideal choice for applications where perfect alignment is challenging to maintain, or where shaft deflection under load is anticipated. Its robust design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating automatic angular adjustment.
As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure our 1213 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards. They deliver consistent, reliable performance and extended operational life, even in demanding industrial environments. The inherent self-aligning capability of the 1213 bearing minimizes stress on adjacent components and reduces the likelihood of premature wear, contributing to overall machinery efficiency and reduced maintenance needs. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to find precise solutions for your industrial requirements.
Key Features of the 1213 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Compensation: Effectively handles static and dynamic angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, preventing undue stress and extending bearing life.
- Dual Row Ball Design: Features two rows of precision-engineered balls, providing superior radial load-carrying capacity and enhanced stability compared to single-row designs.
- Low Friction Operation: Designed for smooth rotational performance, which helps minimize heat generation, reduce energy consumption, and prolong service intervals.
- Precision Manufacturing: Produced to strict dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent fit, optimal performance, and interchangeability with industry-standard components.
- Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality bearing steel, offering excellent wear resistance, corrosion protection, and long-term reliability in various operating conditions.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a broad spectrum of industrial machinery where alignment issues are a concern, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
Applications of 1213 Bearings
