Angular Contact Bearings Hipicco 3203-2RS 2RS Sealed 17mm ID 40mm OD

Description

Product Overview

The Hipicco 3203-2RS angular contact bearing is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial machinery. Constructed from high‑grade GCr15 chrome steel, the bearing delivers exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and load‑carrying capacity, ensuring long‑term reliability even under heavy operational stresses. The double rubber seal (2RS) on both sides of the bearing creates a robust barrier that retains the pre‑lubricated oil while preventing ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants, thereby extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. With an inner diameter of 17 mm, an outer diameter of 40 mm, and a width of 17.5 mm, the bearing offers a compact footprint that fits seamlessly into a wide range of equipment designs, from high‑speed pumps to precision gearboxes. The ABEC tolerance class 1 (P0) guarantees minimal runout and high rotational accuracy, while the low‑noise Z2 rating ensures quiet operation, a critical factor in environments where acoustic performance is a priority. Additionally, the bearing’s high‑temperature resistance allows it to operate reliably in temperatures up to 120 °C, making it suitable for applications that generate significant heat.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the 3203-2RS bearing finds its place in a multitude of industrial sectors. In pump and compressor assemblies, its angular contact geometry efficiently handles combined radial and axial loads, delivering smooth power transmission and minimizing wear on shafts and housings. The bearing’s robust sealing system is particularly advantageous in environments where exposure to liquids, chemicals, or fine particles is common, such as in chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, and agricultural machinery. In automotive drive systems, the bearing supports high‑speed shafts and contributes to the overall efficiency of transmission units, while its compact dimensions enable integration into space‑constrained engine compartments. Wind turbine gearboxes benefit from the bearing’s ability to sustain high axial loads caused by blade pitch adjustments, and its temperature resilience ensures dependable performance under fluctuating outdoor conditions. Printing machines, CNC equipment, and other precision manufacturing tools also rely on the bearing’s high accuracy and low vibration characteristics to maintain product quality and reduce downtime.

FAQ

What does the 2RS designation mean?

2RS indicates that the bearing has rubber seals on both sides, which protect the internal lubricant from dust, moisture, and other contaminants while retaining the oil for long‑term operation.

Can this bearing be used in high‑temperature environments?

Yes, the bearing is rated for continuous operation up to 120 °C, thanks to the heat‑resistant properties of the GCr15 steel and the stability of the pre‑lubricated oil.

Is the bearing suitable for both radial and axial loads?

Absolutely. The angular contact design allows the bearing to efficiently handle combined radial and axial loads, making it ideal for applications such as pumps, compressors, and gearboxes where multidirectional forces are present.

How do I install the bearing to ensure optimal performance?

Proper installation involves cleaning the housing, applying a thin layer of compatible grease to the outer race if additional lubrication is desired, and using a bearing press or appropriate tools to avoid impact damage. Always follow the manufacturer’s alignment guidelines.

What warranty does Hipicco provide for this bearing?

Hipicco offers a one‑year limited warranty covering any manufacturing defects. Should a defect arise, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
