Product Overview: The DAC 356240 Automotive Wheel Bearing
The DAC 356240 is a high-performance double row angular contact ball bearing, specifically engineered for automotive wheel hub applications. With precise dimensions of a 35mm bore diameter, 62mm outer diameter, and 40mm thickness, this bearing is designed to handle the complex load conditions found in modern vehicles. As a critical component in the wheel assembly, it supports both radial and axial loads in both directions, ensuring smooth and safe wheel rotation.
This type of bearing, often referred to as a first-generation wheel bearing, is a pre-set, pre-lubricated, and sealed unit, which simplifies installation and eliminates the need for regular maintenance. As a key part of our Angular Contact Ball Bearings range, the DAC 356240 is manufactured from high-purity steel to deliver exceptional durability and reliability under demanding driving conditions.
Key Features of the DAC 356240 Bearing
- Double Row Design: Features two rows of balls to accommodate heavy radial loads and bi-directional axial loads, providing high rigidity to the wheel assembly.
- Preset Internal Clearance: Factory-set clearance ensures optimal performance and eliminates the need for adjustment during mounting.
- Integrated Seals: Equipped with high-quality seals on both sides to protect against contamination from dust, dirt, and water, while retaining grease.
- Greased for Life: Pre-lubricated with premium, high-temperature grease for maintenance-free operation throughout its service life.
- High-Grade Materials: Constructed from superior quality bearing steel for excellent fatigue resistance and longevity.
- Compact and Rigid: Offers high load-carrying capacity and rigidity in a compact design, essential for modern vehicle hubs.
Common Applications of DAC 356240
The DAC 356240 is primarily used in:
- Automotive Wheel Hubs: Designed for use in the front or rear wheel hubs of various passenger cars, light trucks, and vans.
- Trailer Axles: Provides reliable support for trailer wheels, ensuring stability and safety during transport.
- ATVs and UTVs: Suitable for all-terrain and utility vehicles that require robust wheel bearings for off-road conditions.
- Small Agricultural Machinery: Used in the wheels of small tractors, mowers, and other agricultural equipment.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Can be applied in specific industrial gearboxes where combined loads and a rigid bearing arrangement are required.
Benefits of Using the DAC 356240 Bearing
- Enhanced Vehicle Safety: Provides a stable and reliable connection between the wheel and the chassis, which is critical for vehicle control.
- Simplified Installation: As a complete hub unit, it is easier and faster to install compared to separate single-row bearings.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The sealed and greased-for-life design eliminates the need for periodic lubrication or adjustment.
- Improved Ride Quality: Precision engineering minimizes noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), contributing to a smoother and quieter ride.
- Long Service Life: Robust construction and protection from contaminants ensure extended operational life, reducing replacement frequency.
- Cost-Effective Solution: The combination of durability, easy installation, and no maintenance requirements reduces the total cost of ownership.
