| K | Designates a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio, enabling precise interference fit on tapered shafts for enhanced rigidity. |
1204-K Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball construction provides superior radial stiffness and enables the bearing to handle substantial radial dynamic loads (rated at 2858 lbf).
- Precision Tapered Bore: The 1:12 tapered bore ensures a tight, secure fit on matching shafts, minimizing inner ring creep and maintaining positional accuracy under heavy loads.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The lightweight nylon cage reduces centrifugal forces, contributing to a high limiting speed of 20,000 rpm. Combined with pre-applied lubrication, it ensures smooth operation at elevated rotational speeds.
- Standardized Internal Clearance: The CN radial internal clearance is the standard group, providing an optimal balance for most general applications, ensuring consistent performance across a wide temperature range (-30°C to 110°C).
1204-K Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and Precision Gearboxes requiring secure shaft fixation and high-speed capability.
- Agricultural Machinery and Material Handling Equipment where high radial load capacity and reliability are critical.
- Industrial Fans and Pumps that operate at high rotational speeds.
- Various machinery utilizing tapered shaft adapters for simplified mounting and dismounting procedures.
