Product Overview: The 1215 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing (75x130x25mm)
The 1215 bearing is a high-performance component within our comprehensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 75mm bore diameter, 130mm outer diameter, and 25mm thickness, this bearing is specifically engineered to handle angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. Its inherent ability to self-align makes it an indispensable choice for applications where mounting errors, shaft deflection, or frame distortion are unavoidable, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth operation.
As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure that our 1215 bearings meet stringent industry standards for reliability and durability. The design features two rows of balls and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing the inner ring, balls, and cage to pivot around the bearing center. This crucial feature enables compensation for misalignment without imposing additional stress on the bearing or adjacent machinery components. Choosing the 1215 bearing contributes significantly to the longevity and efficiency of your mechanical systems. Explore our full catalog of self-aligning ball bearings for various industrial needs.
Key Features of the 1215 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Compensation: Excellently accommodates static and dynamic angular misalignment, reducing strain on components.
- Double Row Ball Design: Offers enhanced load-carrying capacity and stability compared to single-row configurations.
- Low Rotational Friction: Designed for smooth movement, which minimizes heat generation and prolongs operational life.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior wear resistance and extended service in demanding industrial settings.
- Precision Engineering: Adheres to strict dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and interchangeability.
- Vibration Dampening: Helps to absorb some levels of vibration, contributing to quieter and more stable machine operation.
Common Applications of 1215 Bearings
- Textile Machinery: Ideal for spindles and rollers where precise alignment can be challenging to maintain.
- Conveyor Systems: Supports shafts that may experience bending or flexing due to material load or structural shifts.
- Agricultural Equipment: Used in machinery such as harvesters and cultivators, operating in environments with uneven loads and potential misalignments.
- Pumps and Fans: Ensures stable rotation of impellers and blades, even when minor shaft deflections occur.
- Woodworking Machines: Provides reliable support for rotating parts in saws, planers, and other equipment under variable conditions.
- Paper Mills: Utilized in drying cylinders and other sections where shafts may warp or settle over time.
- Mining Equipment: Withstands demanding conditions and ensures operation despite structural shifts or heavy, uneven loads.
Benefits of Using the 1215 Bearing
- Extended Equipment Lifespan: By accommodating misalignment, it prevents premature wear on the bearing and surrounding machine parts.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Less prone to early failure, leading to decreased downtime and lower repair costs.
- Improved Operational Reliability: Ensures consistent and smooth performance even in less-than-ideal alignment conditions.
- Simplified Installation Process: The self-aligning feature can ease mounting in complex assemblies where perfect alignment is difficult to achieve.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to reduced power consumption and cooler operation.
- Versatile Performance: Adaptable to a wide range of industrial applications, making it a flexible component choice.
