Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 61826

The SKF 61826 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 130 × 165 × 18 mm, offers a space-saving bearing solution for predominantly radial loads in confined installation spaces.

The 61826 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6). Thanks to its small cross-section in relation to the shaft diameter of 130 mm, this design allows for particularly compact constructions. The bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), it complies with the industrial standard for shaft guidance.

What is the 61826 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The deep groove ball bearing 61826 is primarily used where there is limited radial installation space available despite a large shaft diameter. Applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in assemblies with cylindrical bearing seats. As the outer ring has neither a flange nor a ring groove, the component can be easily slid into through-bore housings.

Due to its open design, the bearing is primarily suitable for clean installation environments or designs in which a housing seal provided by the customer keeps out dirt and moisture.

What are the key considerations for the open design of the bearing?

The open bearing has no integrated sealing washers. For continuous operation, you should therefore select a suitable lubricant, such as oil or grease, in accordance with your operational requirements. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along the raceways and withstands mechanical stresses.

The component is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Thanks to the standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing is suitable for standard shaft and housing fits, provided the operating temperature remains stable.
