1318 K/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 1318 K/C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring high rigidity and robust load capacity. Featuring a tapered bore (1:12) for precise mounting on adapter sleeves or withdrawal sleeves, this precision bearing is designed to accommodate significant combined loads—simultaneously handling radial forces and axial loads in both directions. Its open design, pre-lubricated for immediate operation, and optimized internal geometry contribute to its suitability for high-reliability machinery. The specified C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly well-suited for applications with anticipated thermal expansion or heavy interference fits.
1318 K/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1318 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating the core dimensions: 90mm bore, 190mm OD, 43mm width. |
| K | Denotes a tapered bore with a 1:12 taper ratio. This facilitates secure mounting and dismounting on conical shaft seats. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy interference fits, or where a rigid shaft support is needed. |
1318 K/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row ball construction provides a significantly wider effective load zone compared to single row bearings, resulting in superior rigidity and the ability to handle substantial radial dynamic load ratings (26,325 lbf) and combined loads.
- Tapered Bore Design (K): The conical bore allows for precise axial positioning and a secure, interference fit when mounted with an adapter sleeve, eliminating fretting corrosion and enhancing operational stability.
- Optimized for Challenging Conditions: The specified C3 clearance ensures reliable performance under conditions of shaft thermal expansion or heavy press fits, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload.
- Lightweight & Durable Cage: The Nylon cage reduces centrifugal forces, contributes to smooth operation at the limiting speed (4,500 rpm), and is resistant to wear and corrosion.
- Pre-Lubricated & Ready-to-Use: Supplied with lubricant, the bearing is immediately operational upon installation, reducing setup time and ensuring initial protection.
