6222 MA/C3B20 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6222 MA/C3B20 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding industrial applications. This open-type bearing excels in handling radial loads with high efficiency and reliability. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it ensures consistent operation and precise fit. Its C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications where thermal expansion is a factor, providing stable performance across a wide temperature range of -30°C to 120°C. The combination of high dynamic and static load ratings with a machined metal cage delivers exceptional durability and operational stability.
6222 MA/C3B20 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| MA | Machined Brass Cage | Provides excellent strength and guidance at high speeds, superior to stamped cages |
| C3 | Radial Internal Clearance greater than Normal | Accommodates thermal expansion in heated applications, preventing preload and ensuring smooth operation |
| B20 | Bearing with 20° Contact Angle (if applicable to variant) | Enables handling of combined radial and axial loads |
6222 MA/C3B20 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Load Capacity: With a radial dynamic load rating of 33,946 lbf and static load rating of 26,527 lbf, this bearing delivers exceptional longevity under heavy radial stresses.
High-Speed Capability: The machined brass cage (MA) ensures stable ball guidance and reduced friction, contributing to reliable performance at the limiting speed of 4,300 rpm.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, it offers high hardness and wear resistance. The tight bore diameter tolerance (-0.015mm to 0) ensures precise shaft fits.
Thermal Stability: The C3 clearance provides operational reliability in applications with significant temperature variations, preventing binding due to thermal expansion.
