Product Overview: The 1317 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1317 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to perform reliably in applications prone to shaft deflection or housing misalignment. With core dimensions of 85mm Bore Diameter, 180mm Outer Diameter, and 41mm Thickness, this bearing is a key part of our 1300 Series. It features two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, a design that allows it to automatically compensate for angular misalignment. The 1317 is often used with an adapter sleeve for mounting on smooth shafts, providing a secure and precise fit. As a trusted supplier of industrial parts, we ensure our bearings meet stringent quality standards for durability and performance in demanding environments.
Key Features of the 1317 Bearing
- Self-Aligning Capability: Automatically corrects for static and dynamic misalignments between the shaft and housing, reducing stress and wear.
- Dual-Row Design: Two rows of balls provide a higher radial load capacity compared to single-row bearings of similar size.
- Spherical Outer Raceway: The unique concave outer ring raceway is the key to its self-aligning property, allowing the inner ring, balls, and cage to swivel freely.
- Tapered Bore Option: Commonly available with a tapered bore (designated with a 'K' suffix) for secure mounting using adapter sleeves like the H 317.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and extended operational life.
- Low Friction Operation: Precision engineering ensures minimal rotational friction, which reduces heat generation and improves efficiency.
Common Applications
- Mining and Construction: Ideal for crushers, screeners, and conveyors where heavy loads and structural flexing are common.
- Pulp and Paper Mills: Used in rollers and processing equipment that experience significant shaft deflection and harsh conditions.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Supports long shafts in large ventilation systems, accommodating misalignment caused by thermal expansion or vibration.
- Agricultural Machinery: Provides reliable performance in equipment like combines and balers that operate on uneven terrain.
- Material Handling Systems: Essential for conveyor belts and lifting equipment where maintaining perfect alignment is challenging.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures smooth rotation of rollers and shafts, contributing to consistent product quality.
Benefits of Using the 1317 Bearing
- Extended Machine Life: By accommodating misalignment, it reduces stress on the shaft and other components, preventing premature failures.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: The bearing's robust design and self-aligning nature lead to fewer breakdowns and lower repair costs.
- Improved Operational Reliability: Delivers consistent performance even in applications with shaft bending or mounting inaccuracies.
- Simplified Installation: The ability to self-align can simplify the assembly process, saving time and labor, especially when using adapter sleeves.
- High Load-Carrying Capacity: The double-row configuration allows it to handle substantial radial loads effectively.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery, making it a flexible solution for many engineering challenges.
