Key Features & Highlights

Engineered to elevate your machinery's performance, this bearing integrates advanced metallurgical science with practical application needs. We understand that equipment failure is not an option, which is why every feature is designed to maximize uptime and operational fluidity.

  • Frictionless Rotational Dynamics: The micro-polished raceways ensure a buttery-smooth glide, significantly cutting down energy consumption and extending the lifespan of your electric motors and drives.

  • Acoustic Excellence: Calibrated to strict Z1 and Z2 noise levels, the bearing operates with an almost imperceptible acoustic footprint, crucial for noise-sensitive environments like HVAC systems and precision automation.

  • Thermal Stability: The meticulously selected GCr15 steel maintains its structural integrity even under continuous high-speed friction, preventing warping and ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy.

  • Contaminant Exclusion: With precision-fitted ZZ shields and 2RS rubber seals, the internal rolling elements remain pristine, locking in vital lubrication while aggressively repelling abrasive dust and moisture.


Core Engineering Dimensions & Application Value

To ensure our components perfectly align with your engineering requirements, we have optimized this bearing across seven critical dimensions. Each aspect is tailored to solve specific mechanical challenges and enhance your overall system performance.

Specifications & Precision Fit

Delivering a standardized 17x40x12mm footprint, this component is engineered for universal compatibility. By offering ABEC-1, ABEC-3, and ABEC-5 accuracy grades, we empower your engineering teams to select the exact tolerance required for your specific shaft and housing assemblies, ensuring a flawless, drop-in fit that eliminates vibration-inducing gaps.

Material Integrity & Durability

Forged from high-grade GCr15 bearing steel or robust stainless steel, the physical density and structural hardness of this bearing are palpable. The optimized raceway geometry combined with strict heat treatment protocols ensures that radial stress is distributed evenly. This dramatically boosts fatigue resistance, allowing your equipment to run longer without the threat of sudden mechanical failure.

Sealing & Shielding Adaptability

Operational environments dictate component survival. We offer the Open configuration for ultra-high-speed applications, the ZZ double metal shield to deflect solid debris and metal shavings, and the 2RS double rubber seal to create an impenetrable barrier against moisture and fine dust. This adaptability ensures your machinery remains protected, whether situated in a sterile cleanroom or a heavily polluted industrial site.

Performance: Load, Speed & Noise

When the machine powers on, the difference is audible. Achieving Z1 and Z2 noise control levels, this bearing handles dynamic loads up to 9.70 kN while spinning at blistering speeds up to 18,000 RPM (in open configurations). It effortlessly absorbs complex radial forces without generating the harsh grinding sounds typical of lesser components, ensuring stable, high-velocity operation.

Application Suitability

This is not a generic part; it is a targeted solution for high-stress industrial environments. Specifically designed to endure heavy radial loads over extended lifecycles, it serves as the mechanical heart for medium-to-large electric motors, industrial blowers, hydraulic pumps, and automated transmission systems. It is the definitive choice for manufacturers looking to upgrade their OEM machinery.

Customization & OEM Solutions

We recognize that standard off-the-shelf parts cannot solve every engineering puzzle. Our deep customization capabilities allow you to tweak internal clearances (C0/C2/C3) for specific thermal expansion needs, specify high-temperature or long-life lubricants, and even apply custom laser-etched branding. We provide comprehensive technical support from the initial blueprint stage right through to physical sample validation.

FAQ

To assist your procurement and engineering teams in making informed decisions, we have compiled answers to the most critical technical inquiries regarding this bearing model.

Q1: How do I choose between the ZZ and 2RS sealing options for my application?

A: The ZZ (metal shield) is ideal for environments where you need higher speed capabilities (up to 14,000 RPM) and protection against larger solid particulates. The 2RS (rubber seal) is mandatory for environments exposed to moisture, liquids, or fine dust, though it slightly reduces the limiting speed to 11,000 RPM due to seal friction.

Q2: Can this bearing withstand continuous operation in high-temperature environments?

A: Yes. The standard operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +120°C. However, for continuous high-heat applications, we offer customized solutions featuring specialized high-temperature grease and optimized internal clearances (such as C3) to accommodate thermal expansion without seizing.

Q3: What is the practical difference between ABEC-1 and ABEC-5 in this specific model?

A: ABEC-1 provides excellent performance for standard industrial applications like fans and basic motors. ABEC-5 offers significantly tighter dimensional tolerances and superior runout accuracy, which is essential for precision automation, high-speed spindles, and applications where microscopic vibration must be entirely eliminated.

Q4: How does the internal clearance (C0/C2/C3) impact the bearing's performance in electric motors?

A: Internal clearance dictates the room for expansion within the bearing. C0 is the standard clearance suitable for most motors. C2 offers a tighter fit for high-precision, low-vibration needs. C3 provides extra room for expansion, making it critical for motors that generate substantial heat or operate under heavy continuous loads.

Q5: What measures are taken to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for large-scale procurement?

A: We employ automated CNC machining coupled with rigorous statistical process control (SPC). Every production run is subjected to multi-stage inspections, including laser dimensional scanning and acoustic vibration testing, ensuring that the ten-thousandth unit performs with the exact same precision and reliability as the first.
