Product Overview: The 1216 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1216 bearing is a robust and essential component in the 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 80mm bore diameter, 140mm outer diameter, and 26mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to effectively manage angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. Its innovative design, featuring two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, grants it inherent self-aligning capabilities. This makes the 1216 bearing an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is challenging to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated during operation. Our commitment as a leading provider of industrial bearings ensures that the 1216 bearings we supply meet rigorous industry standards, offering dependable performance and exceptional longevity even in demanding industrial settings. It is a critical component for machinery requiring smooth, low-friction operation under varying load conditions.
