61988MA 600 mm 440 mm 74 mm Frequently Asked Questions about 61988MA Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
Each 61988MA 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 (440 mm bore side) ensures perfect planar contact without edge binding.
When fitting 61988MA over a 440 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 CHG Bearing 61988MA 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.
Beyond standard alloy steel, CHG Bearing can customize the 61988MA Deep Groove Ball Bearings using AISI 440C stainless steel, black oxide coating, zinc-nickel plating, or hybrid ceramic (Si3N4) balls for applications involving chemical exposure, marine salt fog, or galvanic current hazards.
