61888 MA/C5 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 61888 MA/C5 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications requiring high radial load capacity and reliable performance. This open-type bearing features a C5 radial internal clearance, making it particularly suitable for applications with elevated operational temperatures or where fit-up conditions necessitate greater internal play. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers a robust and cost-effective solution for general machinery. Its high static and dynamic load ratings ensure dependable operation under significant radial forces.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 61888 | Basic bearing series designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing. |
| MA | Indicates a machined brass cage, offering high strength and excellent guidance, suitable for high-speed applications. |
| C5 | Specifies a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is essential for applications involving thermal expansion, shaft misalignment, or heavy interference fits. |
61888 MA/C5 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and robust construction enable it to support high radial dynamic and static loads (57,326 lbf and 98,916 lbf respectively), making it ideal for heavy-duty machinery.
- Optimized for Challenging Conditions: The C5 clearance accommodates dimensional changes from heat generation and press-fits, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload.
- High-Speed Capability: The machined brass cage (MA) ensures stable operation and guides the balls effectively, contributing to a reliable limiting speed of 1,800 rpm.
- Durable Construction: Components made from chrome steel provide high hardness and wear resistance, ensuring a long service life.
- Versatile Lubrication: As an open bearing, it allows for the use of various lubrication systems tailored to specific application needs, from oil bath to circulating oil.
