Product Overview: The 1303 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1303 bearing is a highly adaptable and reliable component within our comprehensive 1300 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered to tolerate angular misalignment between the shaft and its housing, this bearing is an excellent choice for applications where precise shaft alignment is challenging to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated. Its intelligent design incorporates two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, facilitating automatic angular self-alignment. With standard dimensions of 17mm bore diameter, 47mm outer diameter, and 14mm thickness, the 1303 bearing offers a compact yet robust solution.
