1209 KC3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1209 KC3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring high rigidity and reliable performance under combined loads. Featuring a metric tapered bore (1:12 ratio), this precision bearing is designed to accommodate significant radial forces while maintaining operational stability. Its open design, pre-lubricated state, and specified C3 radial internal clearance make it an excellent choice for applications with thermal expansion considerations, offering robust performance within a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
1209 KC3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1209 | Standard bearing designation indicating a 45 mm bore diameter, 85 mm outside diameter, and 19 mm width. |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio, facilitating precise mounting and dismounting on adapter sleeves or withdrawal sleeves. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance, suitable for applications with expected thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. |
1209 KC3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball bearing construction provides superior high rigidity, enabling it to handle substantial radial dynamic load ratings of 5152 lbf and resist operational deformation.
- Optimized for Combined Loads: The angular contact design inherently supports combined loads, making it effective in applications where radial and axial forces are present simultaneously.
- Precision & Speed: Manufactured from chrome steel with a lightweight nylon cage, the bearing achieves a limiting speed of 11,000 rpm, balancing high-speed capability with operational smoothness.
- Reliability & Convenience: The bearing is supplied pre-lubricated, ensuring immediate readiness for service. The open seal type allows for custom re-lubrication strategies if required by the application.
1209 KC3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors & Generators: Particularly those utilizing adapter sleeves for shaft mounting.
- Industrial Gearboxes & Transmissions: Where high rigidity and load capacity are critical.
- Material Handling Equipment: Such as conveyor pulleys and rollers.
- Agricultural Machinery: Including tractor components and harvesters.
- Vibrating Screens & Heavy-Duty Fans: Applications benefiting from the C3 internal clearance to accommodate thermal and dynamic conditions.
