1208 C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1208 C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high radial load capacity and operational stability. This precision bearing features an open design and is pre-lubricated, offering excellent performance in a compact form factor. Its key advantage lies in its ability to handle significant combined loads while maintaining high reliability, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments that require robust and durable components.
1208 C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1208 | Standard bearing designation indicating a 40 mm bore diameter, 80 mm outside diameter, and 18 mm width. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater radial internal clearance than the normal C0 group. This is beneficial for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. |
1208 C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball construction provides superior radial dynamic load rating of 4478 lbf, enabling the bearing to support heavy loads and resist deformation under stress.
- Optimized for Performance: The nylon cage ensures smooth operation at high speeds, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 11,000 rpm. The open seal type allows for efficient heat dissipation.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring high durability and a long service life. The specified C3 radial clearance accommodates thermal expansion in demanding applications.
- Ready for Use: The bearing comes pre-lubricated and is ready for installation, reducing setup time and ensuring immediate, optimal performance.
