Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6226 -M

The FAG 6226-M deep-groove ball bearing, with a 130 mm bore, 230 mm outside diameter and a brass cage, provides robust guidance for demanding industrial applications.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6226 -M from FAG is designed primarily for radial loads and also accommodates axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), this open bearing features a cylindrical outer ring without a groove or flange. Thanks to its open design, lubricant reaches the rolling elements and raceways unhindered during operation, making the bearing suitable for oil- or grease-lubricated assemblies in conventional mechanical engineering.

What are the practical applications of the 6226-M deep groove ball bearing?

Typical applications include general gearbox construction and heavy-duty industrial drives where shafts with a diameter of 130 mm are supported. Thanks to its solid brass cage, the bearing reliably withstands high centrifugal forces, accelerations and vibrations. Design engineers use this version primarily in enclosed housings, where the lubricant of the overall system provides continuous lubrication and the necessary heat dissipation for the rolling bearing.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in the -M version?

The suffix ‘-M’ denotes a solid brass cage. This metallic cage material is characterised by good emergency running properties and high strength under dynamic loads. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance and the standardised tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), the bearing is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees Celsius. This contributes to precise guidance of the rolling elements, even under demanding mechanical and thermal conditions.
