Product Overview: The 1202 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1202 bearing is a premium component within our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, engineered with dimensions of 15mm bore diameter, 35mm outer diameter, and 11mm thickness. This bearing is specifically designed to handle applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is a concern. Its innovative construction features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, which allows the inner ring assembly to pivot freely. This self-aligning capability is crucial for preventing excessive stress on the bearing and ensuring the longevity of machinery.
As a trusted supplier of industrial and mechanical parts, we guarantee our 1202 bearings meet strict quality standards for reliable performance. They are an essential solution for a wide range of machinery, offering reduced friction and smooth operation under conditions of angular misalignment.

Features of the 1202 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: Automatically corrects for static and dynamic angular misalignments between the shaft and housing.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide good radial load-carrying capacity and a degree of axial load capacity in both directions.
- Low Frictional Resistance: The design ensures minimal friction, which reduces operating temperature and allows for higher speed capabilities compared to other bearing types under misalignment.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to precise dimensions for consistent fit and performance in various applications.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel for superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for use in many industries where shaft alignment cannot be perfectly controlled.
Applications of 1202 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Commonly found in equipment like combines, seeders, and tillage tools where frames can flex.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for supporting rollers where structural sagging or fabrication inaccuracies can cause misalignment.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures smooth operation in spindles and shafts that may experience deflection during high-speed operation.
- Fans and Blowers: Accommodates potential shaft imbalances and misalignments, leading to quieter and more reliable performance.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Used in machinery where reliable operation and adaptability are key to maintaining production schedules.
- Printing Equipment: Provides stable support for rollers, compensating for minor misalignments to maintain high print quality.
- Woodworking Machines: Essential in saws, sanders, and routers for maintaining precision despite operational stresses.
Benefits of Using the 1202 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: By compensating for misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on shafts and other components, minimizing the risk of premature failure.
- Extended Bearing Life: The self-aligning feature prevents edge loading on the balls, significantly extending the service life of the bearing.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Its resilience to misalignment reduces the frequency of bearing replacements and associated labor costs.
- Simplified Installation: The ability to self-align can simplify the machine design and mounting process, as extremely precise alignment is not required.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to lower energy consumption and smoother overall machine performance.
