Main description

The FAG 1320 K M C3 100x215x47 self aligning ball bearing is a high capacity rolling bearing designed for heavy duty industrial applications where shaft misalignment, thermal expansion and dynamic loads are present.

A self aligning ball bearing is engineered to automatically adjust its position during operation, compensating angular deviations between the shaft and housing. This significantly reduces stress, wear and the risk of mechanical failure.

The 1320 K M C3 belongs to a widely used series of bearings available across global bearing shop online platforms, wholesale distribution channels and B2B marketplaces. It is commonly used as an equivalent to models such as SKF 1320 K M C3, making it a standard solution for large scale industrial systems.

Its double row ball construction ensures even load distribution, while the spherical outer raceway enables continuous alignment correction. This protects both shaft and housing from excessive stress and prolongs service life.

The machined brass cage provides superior mechanical strength compared to polyamide cages, making it suitable for heavy load and demanding operating conditions. The C3 clearance allows the bearing to operate reliably under elevated temperatures and higher speeds.

With dimensions 100x215x47 mm, this bearing is ideal for large machinery and heavy duty applications where durability and reliability are critical.

FAG manufacturing quality guarantees precision, long service life and consistent performance, making this bearing a preferred choice for OEM manufacturers, industrial distributors and maintenance teams.

This product is designed for B2B customers requiring robust and reliable solutions for heavy industrial operations.
