Product Overview: The 1302 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1302 bearing is a robust component from our 1300 Series, designed for applications requiring superior performance under shaft misalignment. As a key part of our Self-Aligning Ball Bearings range, it features a 15mm bore, 42mm outer diameter, and 13mm thickness. Its design includes two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allowing it to automatically correct for angular misalignments that can arise from housing inaccuracies or shaft deflection. This bearing is typically supplied with a tapered bore for mounting with an adapter sleeve, ensuring a secure fit on cylindrical shafts.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we guarantee that every 1302 bearing meets stringent quality standards for reliable and long-lasting operation. Its ability to handle both static and dynamic misalignment makes it indispensable in a wide array of machinery, ensuring smooth rotation and reduced maintenance needs.
