61872 MA Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 61872 MA is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance applications demanding precision and reliability. Characterized by its open design and P6 tolerance class, this bearing is optimized for handling significant radial loads. Its robust construction from high-grade chrome steel ensures exceptional durability and a long operational life. The absence of seals or shields allows for higher operational speeds and makes it suitable for applications where external lubrication systems are used, offering flexibility in demanding industrial environments.
61872 MA Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 61872 | Basic bearing designation, defining the standard bearing dimensions (360mm bore, 440mm OD, 38mm width). |
| M | Indicates the use of a machined brass cage (based on standard bearing nomenclature), which provides high strength and is suitable for high-speed applications. |
| A | Internal design modification, typically signifying optimized internal geometry for enhanced load capacity and performance. |
61872 MA Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity: The single row deep groove construction and high-grade chrome steel components enable it to support substantial radial dynamic load ratings of 40915 lbf and radial static load ratings of 64071 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads.
- Precision & High-Speed Capability: Manufactured to a P6 tolerance class, this bearing offers superior running accuracy. Combined with a stainless steel cage and open design, it achieves a limiting speed of 2,200 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Robust Construction: The use of a machined brass cage (M) ensures excellent dimensional stability and guidance of the balls, contributing to smooth operation and extended service life even in demanding conditions.
- Standard Internal Clearance: The CN radial internal clearance is the standard for normal operating conditions, providing a balance between temperature management and running precision.
