1206C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1206C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high precision and reliability. This metric bearing features an open design and is pre-lubricated, enabling it to handle significant combined loads—both radial and axial forces—simultaneously. Its compact dimensions (30mm bore, 62mm OD, 16mm width) and C3 radial internal clearance make it particularly suitable for applications where thermal expansion and high-speed operation are factors, ensuring stable performance across a temperature range of -30° to 110°C.
1206C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1206 | Basic bearing designation indicating size series and bore diameter |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal, suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where fit interference generates heat |
1206C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row construction provides enhanced rigidity and enables the bearing to support substantial combined loads (radial dynamic load rating: 3510 lbf, static: 1046 lbf). This makes it ideal for applications requiring stable shaft support under varying load conditions.
Optimized for Precision Applications: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, the bearing ensures durability and consistent performance. The nylon cage contributes to smooth operation and is suitable for high-speed applications, with a limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
Pre-Lubricated & Ready for Use: The bearing comes pre-lubricated, facilitating immediate installation and reducing maintenance requirements. The C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion, preventing binding or excessive preload in operational conditions.
