Product Overview: The 1313 Self-Aligning Ball Bearing
The 1313 bearing is a robust and highly adaptable component engineered for demanding industrial environments. As a key part of our 1300 Series, this Self-Aligning Ball Bearing features standard dimensions of a 65mm bore diameter, 140mm outer diameter, and 33mm thickness. Its primary design function is to accommodate significant angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, which can occur due to shaft deflection or mounting errors. The bearing achieves this through two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, allowing it to self-align and operate without inducing excessive stress on the bearing or other machine components.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 1313 bearing provides low-friction operation and a long service life, even under challenging conditions with heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads. It is a fundamental component in a wide array of machinery where maintaining perfect alignment is impractical. Explore our full range of self-aligning ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific application.
Features of the 1313 Bearing
