Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6036 -MA-C3

The FAG 6036 -MA-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with a 180 mm bore, brass cage and C3 clearance, offers reliable running characteristics for high thermal loads.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6036 -MA-C3 from FAG is an open radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6. With an inner diameter of 180 mm, an outer diameter of 280 mm and a width of 46 mm, this design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. As the bearing has no integrated seals, it can be lubricated directly via the machine’s lubrication system.

What is the FAG 6036 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This large bearing is primarily used in applications with high mechanical and thermal demands. Thanks to its wide permissible temperature range of –30 to +200 degrees, the component can withstand sustained heating during continuous operation. As the outer ring has no flange or groove, it fits easily into cylindrical housing bores. The open system can be operated in designs with oil-bath lubrication or a central lubricant supply.

What features do the solid brass cage and the C3 bearing clearance offer?

This variant combines an externally guided solid brass cage (designation MA) with a slightly increased radial bearing clearance (C3). The dimensionally stable brass cage guides the rolling elements along the raceways even under high acceleration and vibration. The increased C3 bearing clearance compensates for thermal expansion between the shaft and the housing, ensuring that the operating clearance does not become unacceptably tight, even at high operating temperatures. The bearing complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.
