Barden Precision Bearings 202HC Spindle Angular Contact Bearing

Barden Precision Bearings 202HC spindle angular contact bearing is a compact single-row bearing designed for precise spindle support in machine tools. It features a 15° contact angle and is rated for a 15 mm bore, 35 mm outside diameter, and an 11 mm width, making it suited for tight-spaces in milling and grinding spindles. This single-sealed design helps retain lubricant and resist contaminants in controlled environments, while delivering reliable high-precision performance under axial and radial loads typical of precision spindles. Marketed under the Barden brand (now part of Schaeffler), the 202HC belongs to the spindle angular contact family and is specified for CNC machine tools requiring tight tolerances and smooth rotation. Verified load ratings include a dynamic load rating of 9.65 kN and a static load rating of 5 kN, indicating strong capability to sustain rapid direction changes and moderate axial thrust in spindle applications. With its compact form factor and robust angular-contact geometry, the 202HC is well-suited for spindle support in high-precision milling and grinding operations, where consistent rigidity and low runout are essential for maintaining accuracy across cutting or grinding passes.
