Product Overview: The 1309 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1309 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a robust and reliable component, part of our comprehensive 1300 Series, designed for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is a concern. With primary dimensions of 45mm Bore Diameter, 100mm Outer Diameter, and 25mm Thickness, this bearing is engineered to automatically correct for angular misalignments between the shaft and housing. Its internal design, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows it to operate smoothly even when alignment is not perfect, reducing stress on the shaft and extending the life of the machinery.
As a key product in our Self-Aligning Ball Bearings category, the 1309 is manufactured from high-grade bearing steel to ensure durability and consistent performance under demanding industrial conditions. It is an essential part for a wide variety of equipment, providing a low-friction solution that enhances operational efficiency and reliability. For heavier loads with similar misalignment challenges, consider the 2209 spherical roller bearing.
Key Features of the 1309 Bearing
- Automatic Self-Alignment: Ingeniously designed to accommodate both static and dynamic angular misalignment, preventing premature wear and operational failure.
- Double-Row Construction: Features two rows of balls, providing good radial load carrying capacity and stability.
- Low Friction Operation: The conformity between the balls and raceways is optimized to minimize rotational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
- Durable Material: Constructed from high-quality, through-hardened bearing steel for superior strength, longevity, and resistance to wear.
- Versatile Application Range: Suitable for a wide array of industrial machinery where shaft flexing or mounting inaccuracies are expected.
- Standardized Dimensions: Manufactured to globally recognized industry standards, ensuring interchangeability with other standard bearings.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in equipment like combines, balers, and tillers where frame distortion and shaft flexing are common.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides reliable support for rollers and pulleys, maintaining smooth operation despite structural flexing over long distances.
- Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection in large industrial fans, reducing vibration and noise for improved service life.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures the smooth rotation of rollers and shafts, critical for maintaining quality and precision in production processes.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands harsh operating conditions and misalignments in crushers, screeners, and other heavy-duty machinery.
- Food and Beverage Processing: A reliable choice for mixers, sorters, and packaging equipment that requires durable, adaptable components.
Benefits of Using the 1309 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Uptime: By tolerating misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on other machine components, leading to fewer breakdowns and less downtime.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: The self-aligning feature minimizes wear and tear, resulting in a longer service life and lower replacement costs.
- Simplified Mounting: The ability to self-align can simplify the design and assembly of machinery, as it is less sensitive to initial mounting errors.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Its low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother performance and can lead to energy savings.
- Reliable in Tough Conditions: Continues to perform effectively in environments where perfect alignment is difficult to achieve or maintain.
