Product Overview: The 1205 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1205 bearing is a precision-engineered component from our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, designed with principal dimensions of a 25mm bore diameter, 52mm outer diameter, and 15mm thickness. Its primary function is to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and the housing, which can occur due to shaft deflection or mounting errors. This capability is achieved through a unique internal design featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allowing the inner ring, balls, and cage to freely align.
As a trusted supplier of industrial and mechanical parts, we provide high-quality 1205 bearings that conform to industry standards, ensuring reliable and efficient performance. These bearings are indispensable in machinery where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging, offering reduced friction and extended service life even under demanding operational conditions.

Features of the 1205 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: Expertly designed to handle both static and dynamic angular misalignment, preventing operational stress and wear.
- Dual Ball Rows: Incorporates two rows of balls to manage moderate radial loads and light axial loads in both directions.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and conserves energy.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior durability, hardness, and longevity.
- Spherical Outer Raceway: The key design element that enables the bearing to self-align, ensuring smooth operation despite shaft deviations.
- Open Design: Typically supplied as an open bearing, allowing for easy lubrication and maintenance.
Applications of 1205 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment like tractors, harvesters, and balers that operate on uneven terrain, causing shaft flex.
- Conveyor and Roller Systems: Ensures smooth movement in long conveyor systems where structural flexing can cause misalignment.
- Fans and Industrial Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection common in high-speed fan applications, reducing vibration and noise.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides reliable support for rollers and shafts, maintaining precision in textile manufacturing and printing presses.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Used in mixers, sorters, and packaging equipment where reliability and adaptability are crucial.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Suitable for machinery subjected to heavy loads and harsh environments where alignment can be compromised.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Supports rotating shafts, compensating for minor misalignments to ensure efficient power transmission.
Benefits of Using the 1205 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: By compensating for misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on other components, leading to fewer failures and less downtime.
- Extended Component Lifespan: The self-aligning feature minimizes edge stresses on the balls and raceways, prolonging the bearing’s service life.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Its resilience to misalignment reduces the frequency of bearing replacements and associated labor costs.
- Simplified Assembly: The ability to self-align makes the mounting process more forgiving, saving time during initial assembly and maintenance.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to smoother machine performance and potential energy savings.
- Reliable in Demanding Conditions: Maintains optimal performance even when subjected to shaft deflection and minor installation inaccuracies.
