Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6412

The FAG 6412 deep-groove ball bearing is an open, single-row radial ball bearing measuring 60x150x35 mm, designed for demanding industrial applications.

As a classic rolling bearing, the 6412 deep-groove ball bearing primarily withstands radial loads and supports shafts even when subjected to axial forces acting from both sides. FAG manufactures this design using standard bearing steel 100Cr6 for the inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements. This material is characterised by high strength and dimensional stability under load. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, the component is suitable for a wide range of bearing arrangements in general mechanical engineering.

What is the FAG 6412 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Due to its dimensions – a 60 mm bore diameter, 150 mm outer diameter and 35 mm width – this component is used in heavy-duty shaft bearings subjected to high forces. The deep raceway geometry promotes smooth running during continuous rotational movements. The single-row design supports assemblies where, in addition to radial forces, axial forces in both directions must also be accommodated.

What requirements does the open design place on lubrication and installation?

As an open rolling bearing, this design does not feature any manufacturer-fitted seals or cover plates. Lubricants such as grease or lubricating oil are supplied directly via the housing design and can circulate freely. At the same time, this design requires a clean installation environment as well as external housing seals to prevent the ingress of dirt or moisture. Manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 meets standard dimensional and concentricity requirements. The permissible temperature range is from -20 to +150 degrees.
