1206 Self Aligning Ball Bearing 30x62x16mm
1206 Self Aligning Ball Bearing
✔️ 30mm x 62mm x 16mm - Chrome Steel, Dual-Row
The 1206 self-aligning ball bearing is designed with a spherical outer raceway that allows the inner ring, balls, and cage to adjust naturally to misalignment. Ideal for applications where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies occur, this bearing offers long-lasting performance and smooth operation under dynamic conditions.

💡 What are self-aligning ball bearings used for?
Self-aligning bearings are perfect for shafts that may flex, tilt, or are difficult to align precisely. Their internal spherical design compensates for misalignment, reducing stress and wear in applications like motors, fans, and agricultural machinery.
A smart solution when alignment errors or shaft deflection are unavoidable.
🔍 Comparison Table: 1206 Self-Aligning vs. 6206 Deep Groove Bearing
| Feature | 1206 Self-Aligning | 6206 Deep Groove |
|---|---|---|
| Misalignment Tolerance | High (spherical outer race) | Low (rigid design) |
| Number of Rows | Double | Single |
| Max Grease Speed | 10,000 RPM | 11,000-13,000 RPM |
| Use Case | Flexing shafts, misalignment | Standard radial loads |
| Axial Load Support | Moderate | Moderate |
Best for conditions where consistent alignment can’t be guaranteed.
