Product Overview: The 1308 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1308 bearing is a high-quality, precision-engineered component belonging to our comprehensive 1300 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. This versatile bearing is specifically designed to accommodate angular misalignment that may occur between the shaft and the housing, making it an ideal choice for applications where precise alignment is difficult to maintain or where shaft deflection is anticipated. With standard dimensions of 40mm bore diameter, 90mm outer diameter, and 23mm thickness, the 1308 bearing is built to provide reliable and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
Our 1308 self-aligning ball bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards, ensuring exceptional durability and operational longevity. Featuring two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, this design allows for smooth angular self-alignment, significantly reducing stress on surrounding components and preventing premature wear. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we are committed to offering components that enhance machine reliability and efficiency. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to discover robust solutions for your specific industrial requirements.
