61918 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 61918 metric ball bearing is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional performance in high-precision applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, this bearing features a P6 tolerance class for superior running accuracy and dimensional consistency. Its compact design, with a 90mm bore and 125mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained assemblies requiring reliable, long-lasting operation. Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel and featuring a stainless steel cage, it delivers excellent durability and consistent performance.
61918 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 61918 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 90mm bore and 125mm OD. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and optimal heat dissipation. Requires external sealing in contaminated environments. |
| P6 (Tolerance Class) | Denotes a precision bearing with tighter dimensional and running accuracy tolerances than standard (P0) grades. |
| CN (Radial Internal Clearance) | Standard normal clearance group, suitable for most common operating conditions and fits. |
61918 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Precision & Rigidity: The P6 tolerance class ensures minimal runout and precise shaft positioning, critical for applications demanding high rotational accuracy. The robust single row construction provides reliable radial support.
- Superior Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 7464 lbf and a static load rating of 7081 lbf, this bearing is built to handle significant radial loads over an extended service life.
- Optimized for High Speed: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 6,700 rpm, reducing friction and heat generation.
- Durable Material Construction: Components made from chrome steel (rings and balls) and a stainless steel cage offer excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, enhancing overall bearing longevity.
- Versatile Operating Range: A wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C allows for reliable operation in diverse environmental conditions.
