3201-B-2Z Zen Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing 12mm x 32mm x 15.9mm
The 3201-B-2Z Zen Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a precision bearing engineered to handle simultaneous radial and axial loads in both directions, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring compact, rigid bearing solutions. This double row configuration combines the functionality of two single row angular contact bearings while maintaining a minimal axial footprint.
Design & Construction
Angular contact ball bearings feature angularly displaced raceways in both inner and outer rings that enable efficient handling of combined loads—both radial and axial forces acting simultaneously. The double row design of this bearing creates an exceptionally rigid arrangement capable of supporting tilting moments and accommodating axial loads in both directions, ideal for demanding industrial applications requiring high stiffness.
