Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6052 -M

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6052 -M from FAG Wälzlager, featuring a brass cage, offers high load-carrying capacity with main dimensions of 260 x 400 x 65 mm.

The 6052-M deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row large-size bearing for industrial applications involving high radial loads. Thanks to its solid brass cage and construction from standard 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel, this FAG rolling bearing is suitable for demanding operating environments within a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees. With an inner diameter of 260 mm and an outer diameter of 400 mm, this design accommodates not only predominantly radial forces but also axial forces in both directions.

What is the 6052-M deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Large machines in general mechanical engineering and plant construction place high demands on the guidance and load-carrying capacity of shaft bearings. The 6052-M deep groove ball bearing is the preferred choice where heavy shafts with a diameter of 260 mm need to be supported. Thanks to its open design, the bearing can be lubricated directly with oil or grease via the housing lubrication system. Typical applications include heavy-duty gearboxes, industrial drives and power units that require guidance with normal radial clearance.

What is the function of the brass cage in this design?

The suffix -M denotes the integrated brass cage, which guides the rolling elements and maintains the correct spacing between them. Compared to simple sheet metal cages, brass is characterised by high strength and favourable emergency running properties. This is crucial for large bearings with an outer diameter of 400 mm in order to absorb vibrations and dynamic loads. During installation, it is important to note that this open bearing requires a housing seal to be fitted on site to prevent the ingress of dirt particles.
