61836 MA/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 61836 MA/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, this bearing features a machined brass cage (MA) for superior strength and stability at high speeds. Its defining characteristic is the C3 radial internal clearance, making it an ideal choice for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits are used. This combination of a durable cage and optimized internal clearance ensures high operational reliability and long service life in challenging environments.
61836 MA/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 61836 | Basic Bearing Number | Denotes a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 180mm bore. |
| MA | Machined Brass Cage | Indicates a machined metal cage made from brass, offering excellent guidance, high-speed capability, and mechanical strength. |
| C3 | Radial Internal Clearance | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance, suitable for applications with shaft interference fits or where operational heat generation is expected. |
61836 MA/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High-Speed Capability: The machined brass cage (MA) ensures low friction, precise ball guidance, and high dimensional stability, contributing directly to the bearing's high limiting speed of 3,400 rpm.
- Optimized Load Handling: The deep groove raceway geometry is optimized for carrying significant radial dynamic and static loads (14,028 lbf and 18,322 lbf respectively).
- Application Versatility: The C3 clearance provides operational flexibility, preventing bearing seizure in applications prone to thermal expansion or where press-fits are utilized, ensuring consistent performance.
- Durability and Precision: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, and conforming to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, this bearing guarantees consistent quality, durability, and reliable operation.
