Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6236 -M

The 6236-m deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with a brass cage and an outer diameter of 320 mm, provides stable guidance at operating temperatures of up to +200 °C.

The 6236-m deep groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel, designed to withstand high radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its cylindrical bore and a width of 52 mm, this model fits precisely into corresponding housing designs. FAG Wälzlager supplies this version ex-works with a standard radial clearance, which ensures smooth running under standard operating conditions.

In which applications does the 6236-m deep-groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This single-row rolling bearing is primarily used where high radial loads and moderate axial forces need to be accommodated. As it is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, it runs with low friction in an oil bath or in grease-lubricated housings. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +200 °C. This makes the component suitable for thermally demanding operating conditions, provided the bearing housing is externally enclosed.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in the 6236-m deep groove ball bearing?

The built-in brass cage guides the rolling elements precisely, even when strong vibrations or thermal stresses occur during operation. Compared to simple sheet metal cages, brass remains dimensionally stable and resilient under varying speeds. In conjunction with the standard radial bearing clearance, the radial bearing play remains defined under normal operating conditions. The design must incorporate an external seal to minimise lubricant loss and prevent the ingress of contaminants.
