Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6224 -C3

The FAG 6224-C3 deep-groove ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing with an inner diameter of 120 mm and an outer diameter of 215 mm, designed for demanding industrial applications.

The FAG 6224-C3 deep groove ball bearing is designed to accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. With a bore of 120 mm, an outer diameter of 215 mm and a width of 40 mm, this single-row component fits corresponding shaft dimensions in mechanical and plant engineering. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the design is characterised by the dimensional stability of the solid raceways and rolling elements in continuous industrial use.

What loads and operating conditions can the 6224-C3 deep groove ball bearing handle?

This radial ball bearing is designed to accommodate radial forces and axial forces acting in both directions, whilst ensuring precise shaft guidance and low-friction operation. Thanks to its open design without seals or cover plates, the bearing can be lubricated directly via the housing system using lubricating oil or grease. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways of the bearing rings, which ensures stable operational behaviour even with varying load directions.

What distinguishes the increased C3 bearing clearance in this bearing?

The version with C3 bearing clearance has a greater radial operating clearance than the standard ‘Normal’ class. This slightly increased radial bearing clearance compensates for thermal expansion that can occur between the inner and outer rings at higher operating temperatures. Similarly, the clearance accommodates dimensional constrictions caused by tight fits on the shaft, thereby preventing the rolling elements from becoming jammed under thermal or mechanical stress.
