1208KTN Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1208KTN is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high rigidity and precise operation. Featuring a tapered bore (1:12) for secure shaft mounting, this precision bearing excels in handling combined loads, supporting significant radial forces while managing axial loads in both directions. Its compact design with an 18 mm width makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability machinery. Pre-lubricated and featuring a nylon cage, it offers smooth operation and is ready for immediate installation.
1208KTN Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1208 | Standard bearing series designation indicating a 40 mm bore and 80 mm outside diameter. |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio, allowing for precise interference fit on adapter sleeves or tapered shafts. |
| TN | Indicates the cage material is Nylon (Polyamide 66), contributing to lower friction, quieter operation, and suitability for higher speeds. |
1208KTN Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row design provides superior radial stiffness and enables the bearing to support substantial combined radial and axial loads, making it exceptionally stable under complex loading conditions.
- Optimized High-Speed Performance: The lightweight nylon cage (TN) reduces centrifugal forces and ensures stable guidance of the balls, allowing for a high limiting speed of 11,000 rpm. The pre-applied lubrication further enhances high-speed capability.
- Precision Tapered Bore: The K-suffix tapered bore ensures a secure, slip-free fit on the shaft when used with an adapter sleeve, critical for maintaining precision in high-torque applications.
- Standard Internal Clearance: Supplied with a CN group radial internal clearance, which is the normal clearance for general applications, ensuring optimal performance under standard operating conditions.
