Find key technical answers regarding dimensions, specifications, and replacement options for this model.
To match diverse operational dynamics, CHG Bearing supplies 156172 with multiple cage configurations: high-strength pressed steel ribbon cages for standard duty, solid machined brass cages (M/CA) for heavy vibration and shock loads, or lightweight glass-fiber reinforced polyamide cages (TN9/TVP) for high acceleration and ultra-low noise.
Absolutely. The CHG Bearing 156172 Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings is a 1:1 direct interchange for renowned brands, matching part numbers: SKF 156172, FAG 156172, NSK 156172. It shares identical envelope boundary dimensions, load capacities, and shaft fits, allowing instant drop-in replacement without retrofitting your machinery.
When fitting 156172 over a 360 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.
Model 156172 is manufactured by CHG Bearing in standard Normal clearance (CN) for ambient temperature transmission, and C3 or C4 clearance for heavy duty applications. C3 clearance compensates for radial shrinkage caused by tight shaft press-fits (bore 360 mm) and steep thermal gradients between inner and outer rings.
