38*42 38 mm 42 mm Frequently Asked Questions about 38*42 Cylindrical Rollers
Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
Built for demanding industrial environments, the 38*42 Cylindrical Rollers by CHG Bearing boasts a dynamic load rating (Cr) of standard dynamic and a static load threshold (C0r) of standard static. The optimized internal raceway geometry balances stress distribution, mitigating edge loading even when operating under peak mechanical stresses.
When fitting 38*42 over a 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.
Standard batches of CHG Bearing 38*42 conform strictly to ISO Class Normal (ABEC-1). For high-precision machine tool spindles, gearboxes, or robotics requiring tighter runouts, CHG Bearing can provide custom batches graded to ISO Class 6 (P6/ABEC-3) or ISO Class 5 (P5/ABEC-5) with 100% micrometer verification.
Absolutely. The CHG Bearing 38*42 Cylindrical Rollers is a 1:1 direct interchange for renowned brands, matching part numbers: SKF 38*42, FAG 38*42, NSK 38*42. It shares identical envelope boundary dimensions, load capacities, and shaft fits, allowing instant drop-in replacement without retrofitting your machinery.
