Timken 30 Series Extra Small Ball Bearing, Double Shielded, No Snap Ring

This Timken Extra Small 30 Series double shield ball bearing with no snap ring is suitable for applications that support radial, thrust, and combined loads. Under combined load scenarios, the thrust load should not exceed 60 percent of the radial load. Made from chromium-alloy, high-carbon steel, this bearing is designed for small shafts driven by motors under one horsepower. The steel cage evenly spaces the balls in the bearing for reduced friction, vibration, and noise, making the bearing suitable for electric motor applications where quiet operation is required. The bearing has shields on both sides to keep out contaminants such as dirt and grime and to hold in lubricant applied at manufacture. Extra small double shield ball bearings are for use in small motor applications such as household appliances, film projectors, and precision instruments, among many other applications.

Specifications

Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.

The Timken Company manufactures a variety of bearings, alloy steels, and related components and assemblies that meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for quality assurance. Founded in 1899, the Timken Company is based in Canton, Ohio.
