Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6020

The FAG 6020 deep-groove ball bearing, with its main dimensions of 100 × 150 × 24 mm, is capable of withstanding high radial and axial loads in industrial drives.

The 6020 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element steel. FAG manufactures this rolling bearing as an open version without integrated sealing washers, allowing lubricants such as oil or grease to reach the rolling elements and raceways unhindered. Thanks to its compact cross-sectional height for a 100 mm shaft diameter, this design is suitable for mechanical engineering applications where a high-load-capacity rotary bearing is required within a limited radial installation space.

What is the FAG 6020 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is primarily used in rotating assemblies and industrial machine drives. The bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. The open design is particularly recommended for installations that have a sealed housing and are centrally lubricated with oil or grease. During maintenance, the open design allows for direct lubricant replacement and visual inspection of the raceways.

What are the key considerations for the open deep groove ball bearing 6020?

As the bearing is left unencapsulated at the factory, the installation site requires an effective external housing seal to protect against dirt and moisture. The deep groove ball bearing has the standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, which meets the usual requirements in mechanical engineering. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the balls with low friction and, in combination with the rolling bearing steel, withstands operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees. Always select a lubricant suitable for this temperature range.
