Product Overview: The 1215 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1215 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a robust and essential component from our 1200 Series, designed for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is a concern. With dimensions of 75mm Bore Diameter, 130mm Outer Diameter, and 25mm Thickness, this bearing is engineered to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments. Its innovative design features a spherical outer raceway and two rows of balls, which allows it to automatically compensate for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of your machinery.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality 1215 bearings that meet stringent industry standards. This bearing is particularly effective at reducing friction and operational stress, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of equipment.

Key Features of the 1215 Bearing
- Misalignment Compensation: Expertly designed to handle both static and dynamic angular misalignment, preventing premature wear and tear.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational friction, which reduces operating temperatures and enhances efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Spherical Outer Raceway: The unique concave raceway in the outer ring is the key to its self-aligning capability.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be mounted directly onto a stepped shaft or onto a plain shaft using an adapter sleeve (e.g., H 215).
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in tractors, combines, and other farm equipment where shafts are subject to flexing.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable operation of rollers and drives, even with structural deflections.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft misalignments common in large ventilation systems, reducing vibration and noise.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Withstands the harsh conditions and potential misalignments in processing rollers.
- Textile Machinery: Provides stable and smooth rotation for spindles and shafts, improving production quality.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Suitable for machinery operating on uneven terrain where frame distortion can cause misalignment.
Benefits of Using the 1215 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: By compensating for misalignment, it reduces stress on the shaft and other components, leading to fewer breakdowns.
- Extended Service Life: The self-aligning feature minimizes edge stresses on the balls, significantly prolonging the bearing’s operational life.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Its durability and resistance to misalignment-related failures lower the need for frequent replacements and repairs.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: The low-friction design contributes to smoother machinery operation and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The ability to self-align can make the initial installation process quicker and more forgiving, especially in complex assemblies.
