How the 5206SCLLD model number is decoded
From the medium-duty 5200S double-row family, 5206SCLLD measures 30 mm across the bore, 62 mm over the outer ring and 23.8 mm across the faces. Reading the code: 52 is the double-row dimension series (medium-duty 5200S double-row family), 06 encodes the 30 mm bore (bore code x 5), and CLLD marks the SC internal design with contact rubber seals on both sides. On speed, the grease limiting speed is 6,300 r/min and no oil rating is printed for this execution. Against a deep-groove bearing of the same 30 mm bore, this bearing trades some pure-radial comfort for real one-direction thrust capacity and higher running accuracy. Mount with the thrust against the marked face: the contact angle runs from the low shoulder of the inner ring to the high shoulder of the outer ring, and reversing it throws the capacity away.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- conveyor drive and tension-drum shafts
- agricultural gearbox and PTO shaft supports
- printing-press cylinder and folder shafts
- machine-tool spindle cartridges and driven tooling
Known failure patterns
- impact brinelling dents on the 30 deg contact path after a shaft-side hammer blow during mounting, because axial shock travels straight through the contact angle
- thermal runaway from excessive preload: the pair runs hot, grease darkens and the contact ellipse spreads until the raceways smear
- machined-cage land scoring when a high-speed spindle runs past its grease rating and the cage runs dry on its guidance surface
- edge loading and early spalling from housing bores that are out of round or shoulders that are too small for the ring face
- edge loading and early spalling from housing bores that are out of round or shoulders that are too small for the ring face
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- In this size class the common miss is lubrication interval, not fit — a 30 mm spindle at the catalogue speeds needs a calculated relubrication plan, not a calendar one.
- Sealed LLD contact-seal executions are grease-for-life: there is no relubrication path, so the grease life calculation replaces the relubrication plan.
- If the application vibrates at standstill (transport, idle machine next to a running line), specify protection: the contact ellipse of a preloaded bearing false-brinells faster than a loose one.
- Do not pair two random 5206SCLLD bearings from stock and expect catalogue paired ratings — matched-set grinding is what makes DB/DF/DT preload behave, and NTN sells those as separate order numbers.
- The C0 of 18.2 kN is a static rating, not a permissible running thrust — sizing continuous axial load from C0 alone is a recurring drawing-office error.
- The 25.2/18.2 kN ratings and 1.1 kN Pu here are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E figures for 5206SCLLD; internal geometry legitimately differs between manufacturers, so re-verify ratings, contact angle and suffix before substituting another make on a rated drive.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue ratings of NTN 5206SCLLD?
5206SCLLD is a sealed double-row angular contact ball bearing to ISO 15: 30 mm bore, 62 mm outside diameter, 23.8 mm width (1.181 x 2.441 x 0.937 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 25.2 kN, C0 18.2 kN and a 1.1 kN fatigue load limit Pu; the grease limiting speed is 6,300 r/min and no oil rating is printed for this execution; mass about 300 g.
How is the 5206SCLLD designation structured?
52 is the double-row dimension series (medium-duty 5200S double-row family); 06 encodes the 30 mm bore (bore code x 5), and CLLD marks the SC internal design with contact rubber seals on both sides. The 62 mm OD and 23.8 mm width follow the ISO 15 boundary-dimension plan for that series.
Which axial direction does 5206SCLLD support?
5206SCLLD is a sealed double-row bearing: thrust in both directions, radial and moment load in one envelope, with contact rubber seals (grease-lubricated, no oil speed rating).
What lubrication speeds does NTN print for 5206SCLLD?
Per NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, the grease limiting speed is 6,300 r/min and no oil rating is printed for this execution. These are catalogue ceilings for a correctly mounted bearing with the stated lubricant; preload, fill quantity, ambient heat and paired arrangements all move the real limit.
What should be checked before substituting another make for 5206SCLLD?
The 30/62/23.8 mm envelope is ISO 15 interchangeable, but internal geometry — contact angle, osculation, cage and shoulder details — is maker-specific. Re-verify C 25.2 kN / C0 18.2 kN, the speed figures, contact angle and suffix meaning against the donor catalogue before swapping on a rated drive.
