This Timken Light 200 Series double sealed extra width inner ring single row ball bearing with no snap ring is suitable for applications that support radial, thrust, and combined loads. This bearing is classified as "Light" for use in limited space applications or for average loads. It has a wide, extended inner ring for providing increased support to the shaft. The proportions between the bore, outside diameter, and width make it appropriate for a broad variety of applications involving high speeds where quiet operation is required. The bearing uses Timken€s Mechani-Seal design where the rubber seals on both sides are reinforced with metal help keep out contaminants, such as dirt and grime, and to hold in lubricant applied at manufacture. Light 200 Series bearings are for use as a general purpose bearing in high speed, low-noise applications, such as commercial and consumer pneumatic and electric tools and motors, among others.

Specifications

Rolling 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.
