Self-Aligning Ball Bearing 1315 K M C3 FAG 75x160x37

Main Description

The 1315 K M C3 FAG self-aligning ball bearing 75x160x37 is a double-row heavy-duty bearing with a tapered bore and increased internal clearance, designed for high load applications with shaft misalignment and demanding operating conditions.

Within the self-aligning ball bearings category, the 1315 K M C3 FAG stands out due to its reinforced construction and advanced features. The spherical outer raceway enables automatic alignment between the shaft and housing, reducing stress caused by misalignment or shaft deflection. The tapered bore K allows mounting on adapter sleeves, providing flexibility in installation. The C3 internal clearance supports operation at higher temperatures and speeds, while the brass cage M ensures high mechanical strength and durability under heavy loads.

The 75x160x37 size is typically used in medium to heavy industrial systems where reliability and load capacity are critical.
