Product Overview: The 1203 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1203 bearing is a highly versatile and robust component, part of our extensive 1200 Series Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With a 17mm bore diameter, 40mm outer diameter, and 12mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing. It is ideal for applications where perfect shaft alignment cannot be maintained or where shaft deflection is expected. Its unique design features two rows of balls and a common concave spherical raceway in the outer ring, allowing for angular self-alignment.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 1203 bearings are manufactured to industry-standard specifications, providing reliable performance and longevity in demanding environments. This type of bearing is essential in various machinery, offering smooth operation and reduced friction even under challenging conditions. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to find the perfect fit for your industrial needs.
