Product Overview: The 1206 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1206 bearing is a robust and efficient component within our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. Engineered with dimensions of 30x62x16mm, this bearing is specifically designed to manage angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. Its innovative construction, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, enables it to self-align, making it perfect for applications where maintaining precise shaft alignment is challenging or where shaft deflection is a factor.
As a trusted supplier of industrial and mechanical parts, we ensure our 1206 bearings meet stringent industry standards for reliable and long-lasting performance in demanding operational environments. This bearing type is fundamental in a wide array of machinery, facilitating smooth operation and minimizing friction even under misalignment.

Key Features of the 1206 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for both static and dynamic angular misalignments, protecting against premature wear and stress.
- Dual Ball Rows: The two-row design enhances its capacity for radial loads compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and conserves energy.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to precise dimensional and geometric tolerances, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel, offering superior durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for numerous industrial uses where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies are anticipated.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Equipment: Widely used in harvesters, seeders, and tractors where rugged conditions and shaft flexing are common.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for roller supports in long conveyor lines where structural flexing can cause misalignment.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures smooth rotation of rollers and shafts, maintaining operational precision.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection in high-speed fan applications, reducing vibration and noise.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Provides reliable operation in machinery where cleanliness and dependability are crucial.
- Pumps and Gearboxes: Supports rotating shafts, maintaining efficiency even with slight operational misalignments.
Benefits of Using the 1206 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: By tolerating misalignment, it reduces stress on the shaft and other components, leading to fewer failures.
- Extended Component Lifespan: The self-aligning nature minimizes wear, prolonging the service life of the bearing and the entire assembly.
- Lower Maintenance Requirements: Its durability and resistance to misalignment-related failures reduce the need for frequent replacements and repairs.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low-friction operation contributes to smoother performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The ability to self-align can ease the installation process, saving time and labor costs.
- Reliable in Tough Conditions: Maintains high performance levels even in environments that cause shaft bending or housing distortions.
