How to read FAG 3318-DA-MA
- 33Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 33 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 18Bore
- 90 mm bore: 18 × 5.
- DA-MASuffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
3318 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

FAG DA-MA series angular contact bearings are ball bearings with raceways designed to support radial and axial loads in one direction. Their construction allows an oblique contact between balls and raceways, providing high axial load capacity and rigidity. They are used in applications requiring precision and reliability, such as machine tools, pumps and gearboxes. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as a brand throughout Argentina.
The designation of these bearings is interpreted as follows: the base number indicates the dimension series, and the suffixes DA and MA provide construction features. For example, 3308-DA-MA corresponds to a bearing of the 33 series with suffixes DA and MA. The suffix DA usually indicates a design with stamped steel cage and a specific contact angle, while MA indicates a machined brass cage, suitable for high speeds and temperatures. These codes allow quick identification of the particularities of each variant.
In Argentine industry, these bearings are used in equipment that combines radial and axial loads: machine tool spindles, centrifugal pumps, compressors, gearboxes and transmission cases. They are also present in mining, cement, food and steel applications, where robustness and precision are critical. Their ability to support axial thrust in one direction makes them ideal for paired or preloaded arrangements, depending on the equipment design.
To correctly select an angular contact bearing, take into account the direction of the axial load, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. Sealing or shield plates should be chosen according to contamination and the need for lubricant retention. Lubrication can be grease or oil, and the internal clearance must be adjusted to the assembly. Alignment between housing and shaft is essential to avoid parasitic loads. In paired arrangements, respect the arrangement and preload indicated by the manufacturer.
When looking for equivalents from other brands, verify that the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and the contact angle match. Suffixes may vary between manufacturers, but the basic designation is usually compatible. For replacements, it is advisable to also compare the load capacity and the limiting speed. If in doubt, consult our technical team by providing the complete part number and the operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 3318-DA-MA bearing?
- The FAG 3318-DA-MA bearing has a 90 mm bore, a 190 mm outside diameter and a 73 mm width (90 x 190 x 73 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 3318.
- What do the suffixes DA and MA mean in these bearings?
- The suffix DA usually indicates a stamped steel cage and a specific contact angle, while MA indicates a machined brass cage, suitable for higher speeds and temperatures. These codes help identify the internal construction of the bearing.
- Can these bearings be mounted in pairs?
- Yes, angular contact bearings are frequently mounted in pairs to support axial loads in both directions. It is important to respect the arrangement (face-to-face, back-to-back) and the preload recommended by the manufacturer for optimal operation.
- How do I request a quote for these bearings?
- Write to us on WhatsApp with the complete part number of the bearing you need, for example 3308-DA-MA, and the quantity. We will reply promptly with the information to proceed.
