Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6034 -M-C3

The FAG 6034 -M-C3 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 170 x 260 x 42 mm, offers robust running characteristics for applications involving higher temperatures and speeds.

The 6034 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel 100Cr6 for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 170 mm, an outside diameter of 260 mm and a width of 42 mm, this radial ball bearing primarily carries radial loads whilst also accommodating axial forces in both directions. The open design allows for flexible lubrication via the surrounding machinery. Manufactured to standard tolerance P0 or ABEC 1, this version covers a wide temperature range from -30 to +200 degrees.

What is the 6034 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

This large bearing is primarily suitable for heavy-duty applications with shaft diameters of 170 mm, where higher speeds or operating temperatures occur. The open design is specifically used in housings with central oil or grease lubrication. As neither cover plates nor mechanical seals generate additional frictional heat, running resistance remains low during operation. Furthermore, the increased radial clearance compensates for thermal expansion of the shaft during operation.

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

The solid brass cage gives the bearing high mechanical strength against vibrations, shock loads and acceleration forces. In combination with the slightly increased C3 radial bearing clearance, this design helps to prevent thermal distortion when the shaft and inner ring heat up more than the housing during operation. This ensures that rotational movement is maintained even at operating temperatures of up to +200 degrees. During design, it is important to check whether the external seal and lubrication system are suitable for the specific application.
