1212KC3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1212KC3 is a metric double row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications requiring high radial load capacity and precise operation. Featuring a 1:12 tapered bore for secure shaft mounting, this bearing delivers exceptional rigidity and stability. Its open design, combined with a C3 radial internal clearance, makes it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where higher operational clearances are beneficial. Pre-lubricated for immediate use, it offers reliable performance in a compact envelope, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial machinery.
1212KC3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1212 | Standard bearing series designation indicating core dimensions (60mm bore, 110mm OD). |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio for precise interference fit on adapter sleeves or tapered shafts. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater radial internal clearance than normal (C0), suitable for applications with expected thermal expansion or where shaft fits may reduce operational clearance. |
1212KC3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball construction provides superior radial stiffness and enables the bearing to support significant radial loads (Dynamic: 7020 lbf, Static: 2745 lbf), ensuring stable operation under demanding conditions.
- Tapered Bore Design: The 1:12 tapered bore allows for precise axial positioning and a secure fit on the shaft, eliminating slippage and enhancing overall system rigidity.
- Optimized for Operational Conditions: The C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion and interference fits, preventing preload and ensuring smooth running. The nylon cage contributes to quiet operation and is suitable for the specified limiting speed of 8,000 rpm.
- Ready-to-Use & Durable: Pre-lubricated and constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers long service life and is compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental standards.
