1216KC3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1216KC3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding applications requiring high rigidity and reliable performance. This precision bearing features a tapered bore (1:12) for secure mounting on adapter sleeves or withdrawal sleeves, ensuring precise shaft positioning. Its double row design enables it to accommodate significant combined loads—both radial and axial forces—simultaneously. Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls, and a lightweight nylon cage, it is optimized for high-speed operation and offers a wide operating temperature range, making it a robust solution for industrial machinery.
1216KC3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1216 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating the bearing dimensions: 80mm bore, 140mm OD, 26mm width. |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore with a 1:12 ratio. |
| C3 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance, suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. |
1216KC3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball complement provides superior stiffness and enables the bearing to handle substantial combined radial and axial loads in both directions, enhancing operational stability.
- High-Speed Performance: The lightweight nylon cage minimizes centrifugal forces, reduces friction, and contributes to a high limiting speed of 6,000 rpm, making it an excellent high-speed bearing.
- Tapered Bore for Secure Mounting: The K-designation tapered bore allows for precise axial positioning and a tight, secure fit on the shaft when used with appropriate adapter sleeves, preventing creep under load.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 radial internal clearance is engineered to accommodate thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, ensuring consistent performance and preventing preload under operating conditions.
