Product Overview: The 11208 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 11208 bearing is a high-performance component from our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, engineered with key dimensions of 40x80x18mm. This bearing is specifically designed to handle applications where shaft misalignment is a concern. Its internal construction features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, which allows the bearing to automatically correct for angular misalignments between the shaft and housing. This capability is crucial for preventing excessive stress and premature wear on machinery components.
As a premier supplier of industrial parts, we ensure our 11208 bearings meet rigorous quality standards, providing exceptional durability and reliable operation. This bearing is essential for maintaining efficiency in machinery subject to shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies.

Key Features of the 11208 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows the bearing to self-align, accommodating both static and dynamic angular misalignments.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar size.
- Reduced Friction: Precision engineering minimizes rotational friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and improved energy efficiency.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for a wide variety of industrial equipment where shaft alignment cannot be guaranteed.
- Open Configuration: Allows for easy lubrication and maintenance, making it suitable for various operating environments.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in equipment like combines, balers, and tillers where shafts are subject to flexing and harsh conditions.
- Conveyor Systems: Ensures smooth roller operation by compensating for structural deflections along the conveyor line.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Maintains operational stability and reduces vibration in applications where shaft deflection can occur at high speeds.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides reliable support for rollers and shafts, ensuring consistent performance and quality.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Used in machinery where robust, adaptable bearings are required to handle demanding operational cycles.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands heavy loads and misalignment common in crushers, screeners, and material handling systems.
Benefits of Using the 11208 Bearing
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, it reduces stress on the shaft and other components, minimizing the risk of failure.
- Extended Service Life: The self-aligning feature prevents edge loading on the balls, significantly prolonging the bearing's operational lifespan.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Its durability and resistance to misalignment-related damage lead to fewer replacements and less downtime.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low-friction operation contributes to smoother machinery performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The ability to self-align can simplify the initial machine assembly and mounting process, saving time and labor.
- Consistent Performance: Delivers dependable performance even in applications with shaft bending or initial mounting errors.
