3315 A/C3 SKF Angular Contact Ball Bearing 75mm x 160mm x 68.3mm
3315 A/C3 SKF Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
This premium double row angular contact ball bearing from SKF is engineered for demanding applications requiring superior load capacity and precision performance. With its larger bore size and increased radial clearance, this bearing delivers reliable operation in high-speed applications with simultaneous radial and axial loading.
Design & Benefits
The double row configuration combines exceptional load handling capabilities while maintaining a compact axial profile relative to its size. Key advantages include:
- Accommodates axial loads in both directions with balanced load distribution
- Provides rigid bearing arrangements for stable, precision operation
- 25° contact angle optimized for high-speed performance and reduced friction
- Slightly increased radial clearance suitable for thermal expansion in demanding applications
- Sheet steel cage construction for durability and reliability
- Open design (unsealed) allowing for customized sealing solutions
- Larger bore diameter (75mm) ideal for medium to large-scale industrial equipment
