Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6014 -C3

The FAG 6014-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 70x110x20 mm and featuring an increased C3 clearance, ensures smooth running even in the presence of thermal variations.

The FAG 6014-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It is constructed from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and features a dimensionally stable sheet steel cage. This open-type bearing has the following main dimensions: a 70 mm bore, an 110 mm outer diameter and a 20 mm width. This bearing type can accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions.

What is the 6014-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is suitable for rotating systems in general mechanical engineering, as well as for applications where temperature differences occur between the shaft and the housing. Thanks to its open design without integrated sealing washers, external lubricating oil or grease circulates unhindered inside the bearing. This reduces friction during high-speed rotational movements. A prerequisite for its use is a protected housing environment to prevent foreign particles from reaching the rolling elements. The component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +150 degrees.

What distinguishes the version with C3 bearing clearance?

The suffix C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This design clearance serves to compensate for operational thermal expansion between the rotating shaft and the housing wall and to prevent the balls from becoming jammed. Tight fits at the bearing seat also reduce the internal clearance during press-fitting. With a tolerance class of P0/PN or ABEC 1, the bearing meets the standardised precision requirements for industrial applications.
