Product Overview: The 1302 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1302 bearing is a highly adaptable and essential component within our comprehensive 1300 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Measuring 15mm for the bore diameter, 42mm for the outer diameter, and 13mm for the thickness, this bearing is engineered to effectively accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and its housing. This feature makes the 1302 bearing particularly valuable in applications where precise shaft alignment is challenging to maintain or where shaft deflection is an inherent part of operation.
Its design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating automatic angular self-alignment. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 1302 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, providing consistent performance and extended durability in demanding industrial environments. This bearing is crucial for ensuring smooth operation and minimizing friction across a wide array of machinery, even under less-than-ideal alignment conditions. Discover our complete selection of self-aligning ball bearings to find the optimal solution for your industrial needs.
