Product Overview: The 108 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 108 bearing is a precision-engineered component from our 1000 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 40x80x18mm, this bearing is designed to handle applications where shaft-to-housing misalignment is a concern. Its innovative construction, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows the bearing to automatically correct for angular misalignments, reducing stress on the shaft and extending the lifespan of machinery.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 108 bearings meet rigorous industry standards for performance and reliability. They are indispensable in equipment where shaft deflection or mounting errors can occur, providing smooth and efficient operation. Explore our comprehensive range of self-aligning ball bearings to discover the ideal solution for your specific needs.
Key Features of the 108 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, ensuring optimal performance even with shaft deflection.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Operation: Engineered to minimize rotational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability and wear resistance.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to precise dimensions (40x80x18mm) for easy interchangeability and fitting.
- Versatile Performance: Suitable for a wide array of industrial and mechanical applications.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Equipment: Ideal for machinery like combines and balers that operate on uneven terrain, causing shaft flex.
- Conveyor Systems: Maintains smooth roller operation despite structural flexing and alignment variations.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection at high speeds, reducing vibration and noise.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures consistent performance in spinning and weaving machines where precise alignment is critical.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Provides reliable support in equipment where frequent washdowns can affect alignment.
- Printing Presses: Supports rollers and shafts, compensating for minor misalignments to maintain print quality.
Benefits of Using the 108 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: By tolerating misalignment, the bearing prevents premature failures and reduces costly downtime.
- Extended Component Life: Minimizes stress on shafts and adjacent components, leading to a longer operational lifespan for the entire assembly.
- Lower Maintenance Requirements: Its robust and forgiving design reduces the need for frequent adjustments and replacements.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The low-friction design contributes to smoother machine performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The self-aligning feature makes installation quicker and less demanding, especially in complex machinery.
