Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6230

The 6230 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager is an open, single-row radial ball bearing measuring 150 × 270 × 45 mm, designed for demanding industrial applications.

With the 6230 deep groove ball bearing, you get a single-row rolling bearing from FAG Wälzlager that is designed for high radial loads and additional axial forces. The open design, without sealing rings, allows unhindered access for lubricant and is particularly suitable for protected installation spaces, such as in gearboxes or enclosed machine housings. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel with a sheet steel cage, the bearing covers a temperature range from -30 to +200 degrees.

What are the applications for the open deep groove ball bearing 6230?

The 6230 deep groove ball bearing is primarily suitable for applications in general mechanical engineering and in drive systems that must withstand significant radial forces. As this is an open design, the bearing is best suited for use in oil-lubricated recirculating systems or grease-lubricated housings. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements with low friction and ensures smooth operation at standard speeds.

What are the key considerations for the open design and standard bearing clearance?

With this design, the surrounding structure determines the lubricant supply and protection against contamination, as the bearing has no integrated seals. You should therefore incorporate external shaft seals on the housing where necessary. The standard radial bearing clearance in tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) is suitable for standard shaft and housing seats without extreme temperature differences between the inner and outer rings. Please check the mounting dimensions in advance, assuming a shaft diameter of 150 mm and a housing bore of 270 mm.
