The 1206K is a self-aligning ball bearing with a 30mm tapered bore and 62mm outer diameter, crafted from sturdy chrome steel. It manages radial loads up to 3510 lbf and operates smoothly at speeds up to 15,000 RPM.
Its double-row design and open construction allow for slight misalignment, while the nylon cage reduces friction for quieter performance. The bearing comes pre-lubricated for easy installation.
Suitable for applications like conveyor systems or agricultural machinery where alignment adjustments are needed. It works in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C.
Weighing 0.22kg, it’s lightweight yet durable. Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, and interchangeable with SKF bearings for hassle-free replacements.
Why Choose 1206K Bearing for Precision Tasks?
1206K Bearing features a double-row design with chrome steel rings and balls, ensuring smooth radial load handling.
Its dynamic radial load capacity of 3510 lbf makes it suitable for high-performance applications.
The nylon cage reduces friction and noise, enhancing operational efficiency.
With a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm, it delivers reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Common Applications of 1206K Bearing
1206K Bearing is widely used in industrial machinery, especially in conveyor systems and pumps, where its self-aligning feature compensates for minor misalignments. The double-row design ensures stable performance under radial loads, making it a reliable choice for continuous operation.
In automotive applications, 1206K Bearing fits well in gearboxes and wheel hubs, thanks to its tapered bore for secure mounting. The chrome steel construction provides durability, even under varying road conditions.
