Product Overview: The 11206 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 11206 bearing is a specialized self-aligning ball bearing featuring a 30x62x16mm dimension and a tapered bore (1:12 taper). As a key component in our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, it is specifically designed to be mounted on a cylindrical shaft using an appropriate H 206 adapter sleeve. This configuration ensures a tight fit and simplifies installation on commercial-grade shafts. The bearing's internal design, with two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows it to accommodate both static and dynamic misalignment, reducing operational stress and preventing premature wear.
Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, the 11206 offers exceptional durability and performance in applications where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies are a concern. It provides a reliable solution for maintaining smooth rotation and operational efficiency across a wide range of industrial machinery.
Key Features of the 11206 Bearing
- Tapered Bore: Designed for secure mounting on cylindrical shafts using an adapter sleeve, providing a firm and concentric grip.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, enhancing machine longevity.
- Dual Ball Rows: Two rows of balls provide good radial load capacity and moderate axial load capacity in both directions.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and improves energy efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and a long service life.
- Versatile Mounting: The use of an adapter sleeve allows for easy installation and dismounting without requiring special shaft machining.
Common Applications for 11206 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment like harvesters, seeders, and conveyors where shafts are long and prone to flexing.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures smooth operation in ventilation systems where perfect alignment can be difficult to achieve.
- Conveyor Systems: Supports rollers and drives in material handling systems, accommodating structural flexing and misalignments.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides reliable support for rollers and shafts, ensuring consistent performance.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Used in machinery where reliability and compensation for alignment variations are critical.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Suitable for applications exposed to heavy loads and harsh conditions that can cause structural shifts.
Benefits of Using the 11206 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, it reduces stress on the shaft and other components, leading to fewer breakdowns.
- Simplified Installation: Adapter sleeve mounting allows for use on commercial shafts and simplifies the assembly process.
- Extended Bearing Life: The self-aligning feature prevents edge loading on the balls, significantly extending the bearing's operational lifespan.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Its robust design and ability to handle imperfect conditions mean less frequent replacement and downtime.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to smoother operation and potential energy savings.
- Secure Shaft Fit: The adapter sleeve provides a reliable and powerful lock onto the shaft, preventing fretting corrosion.
