61868 420 mm 340 mm 38 mm Frequently Asked Questions about 61868 Deep Groove Ball Bearings(618 / 619 SERIES)
Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
The Open / Contact Seal Options engineered for 61868 by CHG Bearing utilizes precision non-contact metal shields or reinforced NBR/FKM contact lip seals. This barrier prevents particulate ingress, washdown fluids, and abrasive dust from reaching the raceways while eliminating grease leakage under centrifugal forces.
The CHG Bearing 61868 is rated for limiting speeds up to standard rated RPM under forced oil-mist or circulating oil lubrication regimes. When lubricated with factory-filled synthetic high-speed grease, safe continuous velocity is maintained at approximately 75% to 85% of the maximum nominal limit, preventing thermal runaway.
Each 61868 produced in CHG Bearing manufacturing facilities features accurately profiled corner chamfers complying with DIN 5412 / ISO standard corner radii. When designing mating shafts and housing shoulders, machining an undercut or fillet radius strictly within the inner ring clearance limit (340 mm bore side) ensures perfect planar contact without edge binding.
When fitting 61868 over a 340 mm shaft, CHG Bearing strictly recommends uniform induction heating (controlled between 90°C and 110°C) or precision hydraulic press sleeves. Under no circumstances should direct impact blows be struck against the rings or cage, as shock loads cause brinelling indents and premature spalling.
