Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6030 -M-C3

The FAG 6030 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with a 150 mm bore, brass cage and increased bearing clearance, offers high load-carrying capacity under demanding operating temperatures.

This single-row roller bearing, made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. The open design, without integrated sealing washers, allows for direct lubrication with oil or grease via the surrounding machinery. With main dimensions of 150 mm inner diameter and 225 mm outer diameter, and a width of 35 mm, the design is suitable for load-bearing shaft mountings in continuous industrial operation.

What is the 6030 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing design is primarily used in industrial applications with high mechanical and thermal demands. Thanks to the solid brass cage, the guidance of the rolling elements remains dimensionally stable even under vibrations, varying speeds and high acceleration forces. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius, making the bearing suitable for thermally demanding bearing locations in continuous industrial operation.

What are the advantages of combining a brass cage with a C3 clearance?

The suffix ‘C3’ indicates a slightly increased radial clearance compared with the standard version. This reserve compensates for thermal expansion of the shaft and housing, as well as the interference fit during operation. In conjunction with the dimensionally stable brass cage, the increased operating clearance reduces the risk of seizing when the bearing heats up, whilst manufacture to tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) ensures precise concentricity.
