Model Code Breakdown
| Suffix / Prefix | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 16072 | Basic bearing designation, defining the core dimensions (360mm bore, 540mm OD). |
| MA | Indicates a brass cage (machined window type), providing high strength and stability, suitable for high-speed operation and demanding conditions. |
Note: This is an open bearing with no seals or shields, offering maximum speed capability and requiring an external lubrication system.
16072 MA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity: Engineered with a deep groove raceway, the bearing efficiently supports high radial dynamic load ratings of 78,908 lbf and radial static load ratings of 123,645 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads.
- Precision & High-Speed Capability: Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class for superior dimensional accuracy and running precision. The combination of the stainless steel cage (MA suffix) and optimized internal geometry contributes to a stable limiting speed of 1,400 rpm.
- Robust Construction: Rings and balls made from high-grade chrome steel offer excellent resistance to wear and fatigue. The machined brass cage ensures cage integrity and guides the balls effectively at high velocities.
- Standard Internal Clearance: Features a CN group radial internal clearance, which is the standard for most industrial applications, providing a balance between fit, temperature, and load conditions.
16072 MA Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Industrial Gearboxes and large power transmission systems.
- Large Electric Motors and generators.
- Vibrating Screens and other mining and construction machinery.
- Pump and compressor shafts.
- Heavy-duty material handling equipment.
