Product Overview: The 1310 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1310 bearing is a robust and versatile component, distinguished by its ability to accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing. With principal dimensions of 50mm Bore Diameter, 110mm Outer Diameter, and 27mm Thickness, this bearing is a key part of our 1300 Series within the broader Self-Aligning Ball Bearings collection. Its design, featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allows it to operate smoothly even when static or dynamic angular misalignment occurs, making it indispensable in applications where shaft deflection is a concern.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 1310 bearing is engineered for reliability and long service life in demanding industrial environments. It is an excellent choice for machinery requiring dependable rotational support while tolerating alignment imperfections, thus preventing premature wear and reducing stress on other mechanical components.
Key Features of the 1310 Bearing
- Automatic Self-Alignment: Inherently compensates for angular misalignment, reducing operational stress and extending machine life.
- Dual Ball Rows: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low Friction Design: Optimized internal geometry minimizes rotational friction, leading to lower operating temperatures and enhanced efficiency.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Versatile Load Handling: Capable of supporting both radial and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Cylindrical Bore: Designed for straightforward mounting on cylindrical shafts, ensuring a secure fit.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for equipment like harvesters, tractors, and planters that operate on uneven terrain causing shaft flex.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable roller operation despite structural flexing over long distances.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection caused by high-speed rotation and thermal expansion.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Provides stable support for rollers and shafts, maintaining precision in production processes.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands harsh conditions and misalignments common in heavy-duty machinery.
- Pumps and Compressors: Maintains performance and stability for rotating assemblies, even with slight shaft deviations.
- Food Processing Equipment: Offers reliable and smooth operation in machinery where alignment can vary.
Benefits of Using the 1310 Bearing
- Increased Machine Uptime: The self-aligning feature reduces the likelihood of bearing failure, leading to less downtime and maintenance.
- Extended Component Lifespan: By absorbing misalignment, it minimizes stress on the shaft, housing, and other associated parts.
- Simplified Installation: Its ability to self-align can simplify the assembly process, as perfect initial alignment is less critical.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother machinery operation and potential energy savings.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces the need for costly, precision-machined housings and complex mounting procedures.
- Reliable Performance: Delivers consistent and dependable performance in applications prone to shaft deflection and mounting errors.
