1216-TVH-C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1216-TVH-C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing engineered for applications requiring high rigidity and reliable performance under combined loads. Its metric design features an open construction, enabling it to accommodate significant radial loads alongside axial loads in both directions. Manufactured with precision tolerances and a nylon cage, this bearing is optimized for smooth operation and is pre-lubricated for immediate use. The C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used, ensuring consistent performance and extended service life in demanding industrial environments.
1216-TVH-C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1216 | Standard bore diameter (80 mm) and series designation. |
| TVH | Indicates a nylon cage (polyamide cage), which contributes to lower friction, quieter operation, and is suitable for higher speeds. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy interference fits, or where operational heat generation is expected, preventing binding and ensuring smooth rotation. |
1216-TVH-C3 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 ideal for applications with complex loading conditions.
- Optimized for Performance: The lightweight nylon cage (TVH) ensures excellent guidance of the balls, reduces centrifugal forces, and allows for higher limiting speeds with lower operating temperatures and noise levels.
- Operational Reliability: The C3 clearance offers operational flexibility, accommodating shaft and housing expansions without performance loss. The open seal type allows for optimal re-lubrication strategies in challenging environments.
- Precision & Durability: Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel for both rings and balls, the bearing guarantees high durability, wear resistance, and a long operational lifespan under demanding conditions.
