The N 1012 KPHA/SP is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing with a 60mm bore and 95mm outer diameter, crafted from durable chrome steel. It handles combined loads up to 9045 lbf and spins smoothly at speeds up to 26000 RPM.
Its PEEK cage, centred on the outer ring, reduces friction and wear, while the open design allows easy lubrication with grease or oil. The bearing operates well in temperatures from -30°C to 110°C.
With a tapered bore (1:12 ratio), it ensures secure fitting and precise alignment. Ideal for high-speed applications like machine tool spindles or precision gearboxes.
Weighing just 0.4kg, it’s lightweight yet robust. Compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, it’s interchangeable with SKF bearings for easy replacement.
