Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6236 -MA-C3

The FAG 6236 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing is an open, large-size bearing with a 180 mm bore, C3 clearance and an externally mounted brass cage.

The FAG 6236 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row radial ball bearing for industrial applications involving high speeds or thermal loads. With an inside diameter of 180 mm, an outside diameter of 320 mm and a width of 52 mm, this large bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial loads. Thanks to its construction from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6 and its design for temperatures ranging from -30 to +200 degrees, this rolling bearing is suitable for demanding operating conditions in mechanical engineering.

What is the 6236 -MA-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This radial deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for applications in mechanical and plant engineering where large shaft diameters and high rotational speeds occur simultaneously. As it is designed as an open bearing, the lubricant circulates directly within the rolling zone. This aids heat dissipation under heavy continuous loads. It is typically fitted in enclosed housing designs, where a customer-supplied housing seal provides protection against dirt particles.

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

The additional designation C3 indicates increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This clearance compensates for thermal expansion caused by temperature differences between the inner and outer rings and counteracts premature stress on the rolling elements. The designation MA indicates a solid brass cage with an external design. Brass absorbs vibrations, withstands centrifugal forces and retains its dimensional stability even at operating temperatures of up to +200 degrees. In combination with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component is suitable for shaft guidance in general mechanical engineering.
