Product Overview: The 1207 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1207 bearing is a robust and reliable component from our 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 35x72x17mm, this bearing is specifically engineered to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing. Its innovative design features two rows of balls running on a common spherical raceway in the outer ring. This allows the bearing to automatically correct for angular errors, shaft deflection, and housing distortions, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature wear.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality 1207 bearings that meet stringent industry standards. This bearing is crucial for a wide array of machinery where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging, offering reduced friction and enhanced durability.

Key Features of the 1207 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer raceway allows the bearing to self-align, accommodating both static and dynamic angular misalignments.
- Double Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar size.
- Low Friction Performance: Optimized internal geometry minimizes friction and heat generation, leading to efficient operation and longer service life.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for moderate radial loads and low-to-moderate axial loads in either direction.
- Precision Engineering: Adheres to strict manufacturing tolerances for consistent and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment like combines, balers, and tillers where shafts are subject to flexing and misalignment.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable roller operation even with structural flexing over long spans.
- Fans, Blowers, and HVAC Units: Reduces vibration and noise by compensating for shaft deflection in high-speed rotational equipment.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides stable support for rollers and shafts, maintaining operational precision.
- Food and Beverage Processing: A reliable choice for mixers, sorters, and packaging equipment where dependability is key.
- Pumps and Compressors: Supports rotating shafts, ensuring stable performance despite potential operational misalignments.
- Woodworking and Papermaking Machines: Effectively handles shaft deflection common in heavy-duty processing machinery.
Benefits of Using the 1207 Bearing
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on shafts and other components, minimizing breakdowns.
- Extended Service Life: The self-aligning feature prevents edge loading on the balls, significantly reducing wear and extending the bearing's lifespan.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Its robust design and ability to handle imperfect mounting conditions lead to fewer failures and lower maintenance costs.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low frictional characteristics contribute to smoother machine performance and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Mounting: The ability to self-align can simplify the design and assembly of machinery, as it is more forgiving of initial mounting inaccuracies.
- Consistent Performance: Delivers reliable operation even in applications with shaft deflection or where housing alignment cannot be precisely controlled.
