Product Overview: The 3216 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 3216 bearing is a high-performance component from our 3200 Series of Angular Contact Ball Bearings, engineered to handle complex load conditions. With a bore diameter of 80mm, an outer diameter of 140mm, and a thickness of 44.4mm, this bearing is designed for applications demanding high rigidity and the ability to accommodate combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Its double row configuration is comparable to two single-row angular contact bearings arranged back-to-back but offers a more compact and space-saving design.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 3216 bearing provides exceptional rotational accuracy and reliability. It is an indispensable part in various industrial machines where rigid shaft guidance and accommodation of tilting moments are critical. As a premier supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 3216 bearings deliver consistent performance and a long service life, even in the most demanding operational environments.
