Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6034 -C3

The FAG 6034-C3 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with a 170 mm bore and increased C3 clearance, is suitable for industrial drives operating under high thermal loads.

The 6034-C3 deep groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing for industrial applications with a bore of 170 mm, an outer diameter of 260 mm and a width of 42 mm. As a single-row bearing, it accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. The design is from FAG and consists of standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6 for the inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements. A sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly in the raceways.

What industrial applications is the 6034-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is primarily used in applications where radial and axial forces, as well as operational heat build-up, occur. With a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees, the component is also suitable for use at fluctuating operating temperatures. The open design without integrated sealing washers allows for flexible lubrication via the housing, whether with lubricating oil or special rolling-element bearing grease. During design, care must be taken to ensure effective external housing sealing.

What advantages does the increased C3 bearing clearance offer with this bearing?

The suffix C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This increased clearance between the balls and raceways helps to ensure that the bearing does not become stressed when the shaft heats up or in the case of tight fits. This ensures smooth running is maintained even during thermal expansion. In combination with the standard tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 and the flangeless outer ring, the rolling bearing can be fitted precisely into cylindrical housing bores.
