3001W16-2RS 12x28x16mm Compact Bidirectional-Thrust Bearing for Steering Systems Double Row Angular Contact Bearing

Compact Bidirectional-Thrust Bearing for Steering Systems
The 3001W16-2RS (12x28x16mm) is sized to fit compact steering mechanism housings while still providing double-row angular contact support for loads that act in both axial directions.

Engineered for Steering Mechanisms
This bearing supports the combined radial and reversing-axial loads generated as a steering system is turned in either direction, a load pattern that single-row bearings are not designed to handle efficiently.

Sealed for Reliable Steering Performance
The RS rubber seal protects the raceway from road grime, moisture, and dust, which is critical for steering components exposed to variable outdoor and underbody conditions.

Compact Yet Load-Capable
Despite its relatively small envelope, the double-row angular contact design gives this bearing solid bidirectional thrust capacity, making it well suited to space-constrained steering assemblies.

Compact Solution for Steering Programs
Material and sealing certification are available to support the reliability documentation that automotive steering system manufacturers require during component approval.
