6226 MA/C3B20 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6226 MA/C3B20 is a high-performance single row deep groove ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. Engineered with machined metal cage construction, this bearing delivers exceptional reliability and durability under substantial radial loads. Its C3 radial internal clearance makes it particularly suitable for applications where thermal expansion or shaft misalignment may occur. The bearing features precision ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent performance in general industrial machinery and equipment.

| MA | Machined brass cage | Enhanced strength and guidance at moderate speeds |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion and shaft misalignment |
| B20 | Standard boundary dimensions | Interchangeable with equivalent bearings |
6226 MA/C3B20 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Cage Design: The machined brass cage (MA) provides superior strength and stability compared to stamped cages, ensuring reliable ball guidance and reduced friction at operating speeds up to 5,300 rpm.
Enhanced Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 35,070 lbf and static load rating of 29,675 lbf, this bearing handles substantial radial loads in continuous operation. The deep groove raceway geometry efficiently distributes stress across the contact surfaces.
Thermal Compensation: The C3 radial clearance allows for thermal expansion during operation, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload in applications with temperature variations.
Material Excellence: Constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, the bearing offers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life. The open design facilitates custom lubrication schemes for specific application requirements.
