Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
Yes, CHG Bearing works closely with industrial OEMs and brand distributors. We offer turnkey custom engineering for R168*, including laser-etched customer logos, custom internal radial clearances, specialized grease formulations, and bespoke protective packaging.
When fitting R168* over a 6.35 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.
The Open Type engineered for R168* 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 R168* 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.
