Product Overview: The 1217 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1217 bearing is a crucial component within our comprehensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of 85mm bore diameter, 150mm outer diameter, and 28mm thickness, this robust bearing is expertly engineered to compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and its housing. Its innovative design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, enabling automatic self-alignment. This feature is invaluable in applications where achieving perfect shaft alignment is challenging or where shaft deflection is anticipated during operation.
As a trusted provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 1217 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They are designed to deliver reliable performance and exceptional longevity in even the most demanding industrial environments. The 1217 bearing is an essential component for various types of machinery, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing friction, even under less-than-ideal alignment conditions. Explore our full selection of self-aligning ball bearings to discover the optimal solutions for your specific industrial needs.

Applications of 1217 Bearings
- Conveyor Systems: Excellently suited for material handling systems where shafts may experience misalignment due to frame distortion or operational flexing.
- Agricultural Machinery: Frequently employed in equipment such as harvesters, planters, and tractors, operating in challenging and often uneven outdoor conditions.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures the smooth and consistent rotation of rollers and spindles, accommodating minor shaft deflections common in textile manufacturing.
- Fans and Blowers: Provides critical support for rotating shafts in ventilation systems, maintaining smooth and quiet operation despite potential dynamic loads.
- Pumps and Compressors: Supports rotational components in fluid and air handling systems, ensuring stable and efficient performance even with slight shaft deviations.
- Woodworking Equipment: Utilized in various woodworking machines where precision and the ability to adapt to slight imperfections are paramount for consistent output.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Ideal for heavy-duty applications that involve substantial loads and harsh operating environments, where structural flex and vibrations are common.
Benefits of Using the 1217 Bearing
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: By self-adjusting to misalignment, the 1217 bearing prevents premature wear on shafts, seals, and other critical machine components, leading to fewer unexpected breakdowns.
- Extended Service Life: Its inherent self-aligning property significantly reduces internal stress and friction, thereby prolonging the operational lifespan of both the bearing and the machinery it supports.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Less susceptibility to premature failure translates into decreased frequency and cost of repairs and replacements, contributing to lower overall operational expenses.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: The low-friction characteristics of the 1217 bearing contribute to energy savings and ensure more efficient power transmission within mechanical systems.
- Simplified Installation: The ability to automatically self-align simplifies the mounting process, particularly beneficial in setups where achieving absolute precise alignment is difficult or time-consuming.
- Consistent Performance: Delivers reliable and stable performance even when exposed to demanding conditions characterized by vibrations, shock loads, or shaft deflections.
