Product Overview: The HK 1512 Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing
The HK 1512 is a compact and efficient needle roller bearing, featuring a 15mm bore diameter, 21mm outer diameter, and 12mm width. This bearing is a key component in our Needle Roller Bearings category and is specifically classified as an Open End Drawn Cup Bearing. Its design incorporates a thin-walled, drawn outer cup that serves as a raceway for the needle rollers, which are held in a cage assembly. This construction results in a bearing with a very small cross-section, making it ideal for applications where radial space is limited but high load-carrying capacity is required.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our HK 1512 bearings are manufactured to precise industry standards for reliable performance. This type of bearing is typically press-fitted into the housing, eliminating the need for complex housing designs with shoulders or snap rings. It's an economical and space-saving solution for a multitude of mechanical applications.
Features of the HK 1512 Bearing
- Compact and Lightweight: The drawn cup design provides a low cross-sectional height, saving valuable space and reducing overall assembly weight.
- High Radial Load Capacity: A full complement of needle rollers offers high stiffness and the ability to handle significant radial loads.
- Press-Fit Mounting: Designed for a tight interference fit in the housing, simplifying installation and housing design.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel, the hardened outer cup and rollers provide excellent durability and wear resistance.
- Open-End Design: Allows a shaft to pass through the bearing, suitable for various shaft mounting configurations.
- Cage-Guided Rollers: The cage ensures proper roller guidance, which reduces friction, minimizes heat generation, and allows for higher operational speeds.
Applications of HK 1512 Bearings
- Automotive Systems: Commonly used in transmissions, steering systems, and engine components like rocker arms and pumps.
- Power Tools: Ideal for use in drills, sanders, and other handheld power equipment where space is at a premium.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gear shafts in compact gearbox designs.
- Two-Stroke Engines: Used in connecting rods and crankshafts due to their high load capacity and compact size.
- Office Equipment: Found in printers, copiers, and fax machines for smooth and precise roller movement.
- Conveyor Systems: Supports rollers in light-duty conveyor belts and material handling equipment.
- Small Appliances: Integrated into various household appliances to ensure reliable rotational motion.
Benefits of Using the HK 1512 Bearing
- Space Efficiency: Its minimal radial footprint allows for more compact and lightweight machinery design.
- Cost-Effectiveness: An economical choice for applications requiring high radial load support without the bulk of other bearing types.
- Simplified Assembly: The press-fit installation method is straightforward and reduces the complexity and cost of the housing bore.
- Enhanced Performance: Offers high operational rigidity and smooth performance, improving the efficiency of the machinery.
- Reduced Maintenance: The robust design and high-quality materials lead to a long service life and reduced need for replacement.
- Versatile Integration: Can be used with or without an inner ring, running directly on a hardened shaft to further save space and cost.
