Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6032 -M

The FAG 6032-M single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with a 160 mm bore and a brass cage, provides a robust bearing solution for large industrial drives.

The 6032-M deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row radial ball bearing from FAG designed for demanding rotational movements at operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees. With a bore diameter of 160 mm, an outer diameter of 240 mm and a width of 38 mm, the component is particularly well-suited to withstanding high radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and featuring tolerance class P0, it ensures a dimensionally accurate fit on large shafts in mechanical engineering and drive technology.

What is the 6032-M deep groove ball bearing suitable for in practice?

This large bearing is primarily used in general mechanical engineering and plant construction under high radial loads. As it is designed as an open bearing, it is suitable for installation environments with a lubrication system provided by the customer, such as in immersion bath or recirculating lubrication systems. The open design allows direct access for lubricant and ensures low rotational resistance, whilst the robust brass cage supports the guidance of the rolling elements even in the presence of vibrations or shock-like radial forces.

What advantages does the brass cage offer in the 6032-M deep groove ball bearing?

The solid brass cage, identified by the suffix -M, gives the ball bearing greater mechanical strength compared to standard sheet metal cages. It withstands high accelerations and vibrations and performs reliably in temperature ranges up to +150 degrees. When designing the application, take note of the open design: as there are no integrated sealing washers, housing seals must protect the bearing from contamination and retain the lubricant within the bearing chamber.
