3206-BD-XL FAG Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing 30mm x 62mm x 23.8mm
3206-BD-XL FAG Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 3206-BD-XL is a precision double row angular contact ball bearing from FAG, engineered to deliver exceptional performance in applications requiring simultaneous radial and axial load handling. This robust bearing combines reliable construction with versatile performance characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where precision and durability are essential.
Design & Functionality
Double row angular contact ball bearings are specifically designed to accommodate combined loads—both radial and axial forces acting simultaneously. The 3206-BD-XL features a 30° contact angle that provides optimal load distribution and enables efficient handling of axial loads in both directions. The open bearing design allows for flexible lubrication strategies, making it ideal for applications where external lubrication management is preferred or where sealed configurations are not required.
The sheet steel cage construction ensures reliable ball guidance and consistent performance across a wide range of operating conditions, while the standard bearing steel material delivers strength and longevity in demanding environments.
