Deep groove ball bearing SKF 61952 MA, Outer diameter: 360 mm | Width: 46 mm | Inner diameter: 260 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, ability to operate at high speeds, and low maintenance requirements.

Designed with a brass cage, this SKF single-row deep groove ball bearing can withstand radial and axial loads in both directions. It is ideal for applications where reduced friction and high load stability are required. Its open design facilitates maintenance and allows for optimal use in low-contamination environments.

Features:
This single-row deep groove ball bearing is equipped with a solid brass cage, which is centered on the outer ring. This design provides excellent resistance to shocks and vibrations, as well as good stability under high loads. This cage can also withstand temperatures up to 250 °C. Its open design allows for low friction torque, which contributes to smooth operation even at high speeds. The standard radial clearance ensures better tolerance for minor misalignments, thereby reducing wear and optimizing the bearing’s service life.

Maintenance:
This deep-groove ball bearing requires regular attention to maintain its performance. The absence of seals facilitates inspections and periodic lubrication. It is best to use a high-quality lubricant suitable for the operating conditions. Maintenance procedures should include checking for noise, temperature, and radial clearance.

Sealing:
This bearing has no sealing system, making it vulnerable to contaminants such as dust, particles, or liquids. Consequently, it is best used in clean, controlled environments where the risk of contamination is limited. However, the open design has the advantage of facilitating maintenance operations and allows direct access for lubrication and cooling.
