Product Overview and Core Advantages
The 1213KC3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high precision and reliability. This precision bearing features a tapered bore (1:12) and is pre-lubricated for immediate use. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to handle significant combined loads—both radial and axial—while maintaining high rigidity due to its double-row ball construction. With a C3 radial internal clearance, it is optimized for applications with thermal expansion or heavy interference fits, ensuring stable performance under varying operational conditions.
1213KC3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1213 | Standard bore diameter (65 mm) and series designation. |
| K | Indicates a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio, facilitating secure mounting on adapter sleeves. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater radial internal clearance than normal, suitable for applications with thermal gradients or interference fits. |
Structural Features and Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Load Capacity: The double row design provides superior stiffness and enables the bearing to support substantial radial loads (7898 lbf dynamic rating) and axial loads in both directions simultaneously.
- Optimized for Precision: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring high durability and consistent performance. The nylon cage contributes to smooth operation and is suitable for high-speed applications.
- Enhanced Mounting and Stability: The tapered bore allows for precise axial positioning and secure fixation, reducing the risk of slippage under heavy loads. The C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion, preventing preload issues.
- Ready-to-Use Convenience: Factory lubricated and featuring an open design, the bearing is prepared for immediate installation in various environments within its operating temperature range of -30°C to 110°C.
1213KC3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and Generators: Ideal for rotor support where high-speed operation and combined loads are prevalent.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used in power transmission systems requiring high rigidity and precise shaft alignment.
- Material Handling Equipment: Suitable for conveyor pulleys and other machinery subjected to heavy radial loads.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in PTO shafts and other driveline components due to its robust construction and tapered bore for secure mounting.
