This Timken Light 200K Series double shield ball bearing with a snap ring is suitable for applications that support radial, thrust, and combined loads. This bearing is classified "Light," making it applicable for use in limited space applications or for average loads. Deep raceways keep the balls stable under high rotational speeds, and 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 a snap ring on one side for holding the bearing in place, such as to a bearing housing, and it has shields on either side that keep out contaminants such as dirt and grime and hold in a high quality lubricant applied at manufacture. Light double shield ball bearings are suitable for use as a general purpose bearing in a broad range of applications involving light to medium loads combined with relatively high speeds. These include transmissions, motors, and pumps, among many other applications. Specifications Ball and roller bearings ISO 9001 Ball and roller bearings ISO 16949 Aerospace ball and roller bearings (excluding design and development) AS 9100 Ball and roller bearings and bearing components for aerospace EASA Part 145, EASA Part 21 Ball and roller bearings inspection CAAC CertificateRolling 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.
