Product Overview: The 1315 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1315 bearing is a premium component within our 1300 Series of Self-Aligning Ball Bearings, engineered with a 75mm tapered bore, 160mm outer diameter, and 37mm thickness. This bearing is specifically designed to handle significant angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, which can occur from shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies. Its key feature is a tapered bore (1:12 taper), allowing for secure mounting onto a cylindrical shaft using an appropriate adapter sleeve, such as the H 315.
Featuring two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, the 1315 bearing automatically compensates for misalignment, ensuring smooth and low-friction operation. This design not only enhances machine performance but also significantly extends the service life of both the bearing and associated components. It is an indispensable part in various industrial applications where reliability under challenging conditions is paramount.
Key Features of the 1315 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically compensates for static and dynamic misalignment, reducing stress on the shaft and extending component life.
- Tapered Bore Design: Features a 1:12 tapered bore for easy and secure mounting on shafts using an adapter sleeve, ensuring a tight fit.
- Dual Ball Rows: Two rows of balls provide a higher load-carrying capacity compared to single-row bearings.
- Low-Friction Performance: Engineered for minimal rotational resistance, which reduces operational heat and conserves energy.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery where shaft deflection and misalignment are common issues.
Common Applications of 1315 Bearings
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ideal for supporting fan shafts that may experience deflection at high speeds.
- Conveyor Systems: Effectively used in long conveyor rollers where maintaining perfect alignment is difficult.
- Agricultural Machinery: Provides reliable performance in equipment like harvesters, combines, and tractors operating on uneven terrain.
- Mining and Construction Equipment: Withstands harsh conditions and misalignments in crushers, screeners, and heavy-duty vehicles.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures smooth operation of rollers and cylinders, contributing to consistent product quality.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in machinery exposed to heavy loads and potential misalignments.
- Large Pumps and Gearboxes: Supports rotating shafts, accommodating operational deflections and thermal expansion.
Benefits of Using the 1315 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: By accommodating misalignment, it prevents premature bearing failure and reduces the risk of unexpected downtime.
- Simplified Installation: The use of an adapter sleeve on a tapered bore simplifies the mounting and dismounting process compared to press-fitting cylindrical bore bearings.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: The bearing's ability to handle misalignment leads to a longer service life and fewer replacements.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Its low-friction characteristics contribute to smoother machinery operation and potential energy savings.
- Increased Durability: Less sensitive to mounting errors and shaft deflection, making it a more forgiving and durable choice in demanding applications.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be easily positioned anywhere on a plain shaft using an adapter sleeve, providing flexibility in machine design.
