Product Overview: The 1303 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1303 bearing is a premium component within our 1300 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, engineered with principal dimensions of a 17mm bore diameter, 47mm outer diameter, and 14mm thickness. This bearing is distinguished by its tapered bore (taper 1:12), which allows for secure and precise mounting onto a cylindrical shaft using an adapter sleeve. Its internal design, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, enables it to tolerate both static and dynamic angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This self-aligning capability is crucial in applications where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies are unavoidable.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 1303 bearings meet stringent quality standards for reliable performance in demanding operational environments. This bearing is an excellent choice for machinery requiring robust support and adaptability to alignment deviations.

Features of the 1303 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Features a 1:12 tapered bore, facilitating easy mounting and dismounting on cylindrical shafts with an adapter sleeve.
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and adjacent components.
- Dual Ball Rows: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar dimensions.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering minimizes rotational friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and enhanced efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Versatile Mounting: Compatible with standard adapter sleeves like the H 204, allowing for flexible and secure installation.
Applications of 1303 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment such as combines and balers, which operate on uneven terrain causing shaft flexing.
- Conveyor Systems: Used in long conveyor rollers where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures smooth operation of rollers and shafts that may experience deflection during high-speed processes.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates potential misalignments in fan shafts, ensuring quiet and stable performance.
- Pumps and Compressors: Provides reliable support for rotating shafts, maintaining efficiency even with minor alignment deviations.
- Food Processing Equipment: Suitable for machinery that requires dependable rotational components that can handle operational stresses.
Benefits of Using the 1303 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Uptime: The ability to handle misalignment prevents premature bearing failure, reducing costly downtime.
- Extended Component Lifespan: By minimizing stress from misalignment, the bearing protects both itself and the shaft from excessive wear.
- Simplified Assembly: The use of an adapter sleeve for mounting simplifies the installation process compared to bearings requiring precisely machined shaft seats.
- Improved Operational Reliability: Maintains consistent performance even under conditions of shaft deflection or housing distortion.
- Reduced Maintenance Needs: The robust design and self-aligning feature lead to a lower frequency of maintenance and replacement.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Offers a long-term, reliable solution that lowers overall maintenance and operational costs.
