Product Overview: The 1208 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1208 bearing is a precision-engineered component belonging to our popular 1200 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings. With dimensions of 40x80x18mm, it is specifically designed to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing. This capability is crucial in applications where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging due to shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies. The bearing features a dual-row ball design with a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, which allows it to self-align and operate smoothly even under angular deviations.
As a trusted supplier of industrial parts, we provide high-quality 1208 bearings that meet stringent industry standards for performance and durability. This bearing minimizes friction and operational stress, making it an indispensable part of various types of machinery. Explore our comprehensive selection of self-aligning ball bearings to discover the ideal solution for your mechanical needs.
