3308 A Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 3308 A is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high precision and exceptional rigidity. This metric bearing excels at simultaneously handling combined loads—significant radial forces and bidirectional axial loads—within a single, compact unit. Manufactured to a P6 (ABEC-3) tolerance class, it delivers the running accuracy essential for high-performance machinery. Its open design, when paired with high-quality lubrication, supports reliable operation at high speeds up to 7,500 rpm, making it a robust and dependable choice for demanding industrial environments.
3308 A Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 3308: Basic series designation, indicating a double row angular contact ball bearing with a 40mm bore, 90mm OD, and 36.5mm width.
- A: Denotes a 30° contact angle. This specific angle optimizes the bearing's performance for carrying substantial axial loads in both directions while maintaining excellent radial load capacity.
3308 A Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity and Load Capacity: The double row design provides superior radial and axial stiffness compared to single row bearings. This construction enables it to support heavy combined loads effectively, with a dynamic load rating of 14,738 lbf and a static load rating of 10,800 lbf.
- Optimized for High-Speed Operation: The standard stainless steel cage ensures low friction and stable operation, contributing to the bearing's high limiting speed. The pre-lubrication facilitates immediate startup and smooth running.
- Precision Engineering: Built to P6 tolerance with tight dimensional controls on the bore diameter, outside diameter, and width, this bearing guarantees precise shaft positioning and minimal runout, which is critical for applications like machine tool spindles.
- Durable Material Construction: The rings and balls are made from high-grade chrome steel, offering excellent wear resistance and longevity, while the stainless steel cage provides corrosion resistance.
