Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6044 -MA-C3

The 6044 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with a 220 mm bore, solid brass cage and C3 clearance, offers high thermal stability in heavy-duty applications.

This single-row deep groove ball bearing 6044 -MA-C3 from FAG Wälzlager is designed for demanding industrial applications involving combined radial and axial loads. With key dimensions of 220 mm inner diameter, 340 mm outer diameter and 56 mm width, the design can withstand considerable forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the open bearing operates within a wide temperature range from -30 to +200 degrees.

What is the 6044 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

Large shaft diameters in industrial applications require robust bearing arrangements. The bearing accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. As it is an open bearing without integrated seals, it can be flexibly connected to existing lubrication circuits using oil or grease, provided that the housing is sealed against the environment.

What are the advantages of the solid brass cage and the C3 clearance?

The -MA version features a solid brass cage with external guidance, which is more resistant to vibrations, accelerations and high temperatures than standard sheet metal cages. The C3 designation indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance. This increased operating clearance compensates for thermal expansion at operating temperatures of up to +200 degrees or tight fits on the shaft and housing, without the bearing becoming stressed.
