SKF 3209 A/C3 2 Row Ball Bearing - 45 mm ID, 85 mm OD 30.2 mm Race Width

This ball bearing is a double‑row angular contact ball solution designed to support radial and axial loads in rotating assemblies. It operates in high‑speed environments and uses hardened steel balls and an open configuration to facilitate lubrication and maintenance access while fitting into assemblies requiring a parallel bore.

• C3 internal clearance permits thermal expansion without seizure
• 7,500 r/min limiting speed supports Rapid rotation demands
• 52 kN dynamic load capacity handles substantial operating forces
• 30° contact angle improves combined load transmission
• Sheet‑metal cage reduces mass while maintaining ball guidance
• 41.5 kN static rating resists heavy stationary loads

• Suitable for precision gearboxes with combined loads
• Ideal for high‑speed spindles in machining systems
• Used with motor shafts requiring a parallel bore Interface
• Can be used for industrial pumps with axial thrust
• Appropriate for conveyors needing robust static support

The open‑end design allows direct application of lubricants and Visual inspection of the rolling elements without removal.

A parallel bore enables a uniform interference or transition fit along the inner race for predictable mounting behaviour.

The use of steel for the balls provides hard rolling elements that resist indentation under cyclic loading conditions.

A sheet‑metal cage lowers inertia and maintains ball spacing at speed, reducing vibration at elevated rotational rates.
