Key Specifications & Benefits
| Description | Value / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Model & Series | SKF 61972 — High-speed deep groove ball bearing, part of long-lived 619xx series (61964/61968/61972) |
| Dimensions (mm) | 360 × 480 × 56 — Optimized for high radial load capacity and compact axial space |
| Load Direction | Radial Bearing — Precision-engineered for dominant radial loads with minimal friction |
| Material | High-purity bearing steel — Superior hardness, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability |
| Rows & Design | Single-row — Enables high rotational speeds and smooth, low-noise operation |
| Contact Angle | 0° — Maximizes radial stiffness and dynamic performance in high-RPM applications |
| Origin & Quality | Manufactured in Germany, Sweden, or Japan — Meets SKF’s global ISO 9001 & ISO/TS 16949 standards |
| Durability Edge | Extended service life — Advanced heat treatment + super-finished raceways reduce wear by up to 40% vs. standard bearings |
| Typical Applications | Turbomachinery, gearboxes, high-speed motors, industrial fans, precision machine tools |
| Why Choose This Over Competitors? | SKF’s proprietary cage design + optimized internal geometry deliver 25% higher limiting speed and 30% longer L10 life than generic equivalents |
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this bearing suitable for continuous high-speed operation? Yes — rated for up to 1,800 rpm (oil-lubricated) with thermal stability.
- Can it handle combined loads? Primarily radial; limited axial capacity — use with thrust support if needed.
- What lubrication is recommended? High-performance mineral or synthetic oil (ISO VG 68–100) or lithium-complex grease.
- Is mounting assistance available? Yes — we provide SKF-certified mounting guidelines and interference fit recommendations.
- Do you offer OEM/ODM support? Absolutely — custom packaging, branding, and technical co-engineering included.
