Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6407

The 6407 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings, with dimensions of 35 × 100 × 25 mm, offers a robust solution for predominantly radial forces.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6407 accommodates axial loads in both directions in addition to the predominant radial forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing is characterised by the dimensional stability and strength of its raceways and rolling elements. The open component has neither a flange nor a ring groove on the cylindrical outer ring. A guided sheet steel cage maintains an even spacing between the balls, which promotes low-vibration operation across the entire operating range.

Under what conditions is the 6407 deep-groove ball bearing used?

The bearing is primarily used in designs where a protected installation environment with a central lubrication circuit is provided. As no abrasive cover plates or sealing discs are fitted, the design operates with low frictional resistance. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius, making this bearing suitable for both cold environments and units operating under more demanding thermal conditions.

What are the key features of the open design of the 6407 bearing?

The open design allows liquid lubricants to pass through directly and enables the targeted application of application-specific greases during assembly. Lubricating oil reaches the contact surfaces of the balls unimpeded, dissipates frictional heat and flushes any abrasion particles out of the raceways. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures balanced shaft guidance during operation, whilst tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) meets standard fit requirements in general mechanical engineering.
