How the 619-500-MA model number is decoded
In the large-bore 61900-series, the bore is written directly after the slash as 500 mm (large thin-section bores use the slash spelling instead of the two-digit code). The envelope is 500×670×78 mm (19.685×26.378×3.071 in) with a 85.0 mm radial section height, C 462 kN, C0 865 kN and Pu 15 kN. The open 619/500 MA carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. The MA suffix identifies the machined brass cage execution, a separate order number from the pressed-steel version. Limiting speed 1400 r/min, catalogue mass 81500 g. A thin section saves space but leaves little margin for misalignment or shaft deflection.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- crusher auxiliary drives
- space-constrained gearboxes
- clutch and transmission assemblies
- robotics and automation joints
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without external seals
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling once the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
- brinelling from static overload or hammer blows during mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 619/500-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- Catalogue ratings for 619-500-MA (C 462 kN, C0 865 kN) are SKF figures from PUB BU/P1 17000; geometry revisions can change ratings without changing the designation, so keep the catalogue edition with the specification.
- The MA suffix on 619-500-MA denotes a machined brass cage: it is the choice for high speeds, marginal lubrication and shock/vibration duty, and it is temperature-tolerant where polymer cages are not — the 81500 g quoted mass includes the heavier cage.
- Open 619-500-MA needs external sealing at the arrangement level; in dusty housings its life depends entirely on those external seals and the regreasing schedule.
- Plan a relubrication interval for 619-500-MA; run-to-failure on open deep-groove bearings is the dominant early-failure cause.
- Mount by heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) — driving 619-500-MA home through the outer ring or balls brinells the raceways.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 619-500-MA?
The SKF 619/500 MA measures 500 mm bore × 670 mm OD × 78 mm width (19.685 × 26.378 × 3.071 in), mass about 81500 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
Why is there a slash in the designation 619/500 MA?
The slash writes a bore that falls outside the two-digit code table: 619/500 means 500 mm bore. The site slug 619-500-MA replaces the slash with a hyphen.
How heavy is 619-500-MA?
Catalogue mass is 81500 g for 619/500 MA; seal and cage executions of the same envelope differ by a few grams.
What load can 619-500-MA take?
Catalogue values for 619/500 MA: dynamic C 462 kN, static C0 865 kN, fatigue limit Pu 15 kN. Use C in life calculation and C0 for static checks at 500 mm bore.
