Overview
The SKF 3313 A/C3 is a high-performance double-row angular contact ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. This bearing features a 65mm bore diameter, 140mm outside diameter, and 58.7mm width, with a back-to-back (O) arrangement and C3 internal clearance. The SKF 3313 A/C3 delivers superior load capacity while maintaining compact design, making it ideal for precision machinery requiring bi-directional axial and radial force support.
Key Features
- Double-row angular contact design with back-to-back (O) arrangement for high-speed operation
- 30° contact angle optimizes axial load-handling capacity and rigidity
- C3 internal clearance accommodates thermal expansion in variable temperature environments
- Brass sheet metal cage ensures durability and low-noise operation
- SKF Explorer performance class rating for enhanced bearing life and reliability
- Basic dynamic load rating of 146 kN with static rating of 110 kN
