Product Overview: The 1311 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1311 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a robust component from our 1300 Series, designed for applications requiring superior performance under misalignment conditions. With dimensions of 55x120x29mm, this bearing features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allowing it to automatically correct for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. This capability is crucial in machinery where shaft deflection or mounting errors are anticipated, preventing premature wear and ensuring operational stability.
As a key part of our Self-Aligning Ball Bearings range, the 1311 is manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to industry-standard specifications. It is engineered to handle significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a versatile solution for a wide array of demanding industrial environments. Its low-friction design ensures efficient and smooth operation, contributing to reduced energy consumption and longer service intervals for your equipment.
Key Features of the 1311 Bearing
- Automatic Misalignment Correction: Compensates for static and dynamic angular misalignments, reducing stress on the shaft and other components.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide excellent load-carrying capacity and rigidity.
- High Radial Load Capacity: Engineered to support substantial radial forces, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Low Friction Operation: The conformity between the balls and raceways minimizes rotational friction, reducing heat and wear.
- Cylindrical Bore: Designed for straightforward mounting on a cylindrical shaft seat.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for enhanced durability and a long operational lifespan.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in tractors, combines, and other farm equipment where shafts are subject to flexing and misalignment.
- Conveyor and Material Handling Systems: Ensures reliable roller operation in long conveyor lines where structural flexing is common.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Accommodates shaft deflection in large ventilation systems, ensuring smooth and quiet performance.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Provides durable support in crushers, screeners, and other machinery operating in harsh conditions.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing machinery to handle the demanding environment and potential for misalignment.
- Textile Machinery: Supports rotating components in looms and spinning machines, maintaining precision despite operational vibrations.
Benefits of the 1311 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, it prevents excessive stress and premature failure of shafts and adjacent components.
- Extended Service Life: The self-aligning feature minimizes wear, leading to longer-lasting performance and fewer replacements.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Its robust design and ability to handle imperfect mounting reduce the need for frequent maintenance and downtime.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother machine operation and potential energy savings.
- Simplified Assembly: The ability to self-align can simplify the initial mounting process, saving time and labor, particularly in complex assemblies.
