| Suffix / Prefix | Technical Meaning | Significance & Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| MA | Brass Cage | Indicates a machined brass cage, offering high strength, excellent guidance, and suitability for high-speed applications and demanding operating conditions. |
| (Implied by spec) | P6 Tolerance | Denotes a tolerance class tighter than standard, resulting in reduced runout and vibration for high-precision applications. |
| (Implied by spec) | CN Clearance | Specifies the standard radial internal clearance group, suitable for most common operating conditions. |
16068 MA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class with strict dimensional controls on the bore diameter (340 mm) and outside diameter (520 mm), this bearing ensures precise shaft positioning and minimal deflection under load.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a high radial dynamic load rating of 77559 lbf and a radial static load rating of 116901 lbf, it is built to handle significant radial forces in heavy-duty machinery.
- Optimized High-Speed Capability: The combination of the machined brass (MA) cage, high-grade chrome steel components, and open design contributes to a stable limiting speed of 1,500 rpm.
- Durability and Corrosion Resistance: The stainless steel cage provides excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, enhancing the bearing's longevity in challenging environments.
- Application Flexibility: The open seal type allows for the use of various lubrication systems, giving engineers flexibility in maintenance planning. Its wide temperature range (-30°C to 120°C) ensures performance across diverse operating conditions.
