Deep groove ball bearing SKF 61922 MA/C3, Outer diameter: 150 mm | Width: 20 mm | Inner diameter: 110 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

With its brass cage and C3 internal radial clearance, this SKF deep groove ball bearing is designed to perform optimally in environments where temperatures are high and heat dissipation is critical. It offers high resistance to shocks and vibrations, while ensuring low friction and good stability, even under heavy loads.

Features:
This SKF deep groove ball bearing features a solid brass cage, centered on the outer ring, which provides excellent resistance to shocks and vibrations while offering good stability, even under high loads. It also allows this bearing to be used at temperatures up to 250°C. However, because it is heavier, it operates at slightly lower speeds. Its open design, along with its increased internal radial clearance (C3), helps reduce friction, making it an ideal choice for applications where heat management and consistent performance are paramount. Due to the absence of seals, this bearing is suitable for clean, controlled environments.

Maintenance:
Since this deep-groove ball bearing is not equipped with seals, it requires regular maintenance to preserve its performance and extend its service life. Periodic lubrication is essential to prevent premature wear, preferably using a high-quality lubricant suited to the operating conditions. Checking radial clearance, as well as monitoring temperature and noise, is also recommended.

Sealing:
This bearing is not equipped with seals, making it vulnerable to external contaminants such as dust, particles, or liquids. Consequently, it must be used in clean environments where operating conditions are well controlled. However, this open design allows direct access for maintenance and regular lubrication.

Key Features:
- Low internal friction thanks to its open design and increased clearance (C3);
- Brass cage offering high resistance to shocks and vibrations, ensuring stability under high loads;
- Capable of operating at temperatures up to 250°C;
- Capable of withstanding high radial loads and moderate axial loads.

Applications:
This deep-groove ball bearing is particularly well-suited for applications where thermal stresses are critical factors and where effective heat dissipation is required.

It is commonly found in furnaces and boilers used in industrial baking, metal processing, and glass production, where it ensures smooth operation despite constant heat.

In steel mills, it is commonly used in machinery exposed to extreme heat, such as rolling mills and continuous casting lines, thereby helping to maintain equipment performance and reduce downtime.

In the automotive industry, this bearing is used for components exposed to high temperatures, such as exhaust systems and turbochargers.

In the chemical and petrochemical industries, it is ideally suited for equipment such as pumps, compressors, and agitators that operate under high heat.

Finally, in aerospace and power generation, this high-temperature bearing ensures reliable performance, particularly in turbines and other components subjected to intense thermal stresses.
