Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6048 -M-C3
The FAG 6048 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with a 240 mm bore, brass cage and C3 clearance, offers high load-carrying capacity for demanding industrial drives.
The 6048 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for heavy-duty industrial applications involving radial and axial loads. With an inside diameter of 240 mm, an outside diameter of 360 mm and a width of 56 mm, this large bearing can withstand considerable forces. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel, this FAG bearing is characterised by its dimensional stability. Designed as an open bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into lubrication systems using oil or grease.
In which applications is the 6048 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing used?
Design engineers and maintenance technicians use this size in heavy machinery and plant engineering for shaft bearings subjected to high operating loads. Thanks to its open design without integrated sealing washers, the bearing is suitable for applications where external sealing and a continuous supply of lubricant via a circulating oil or grease system are provided. The single-row design accommodates high radial forces whilst simultaneously supporting axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its operating temperature range of –30 to +200 degrees, the bearing can also withstand significant operational heating.
What is the function of the brass cage and the C3 bearing clearance in the 6048 -M-C3?
The -M designation refers to a solid brass cage that guides the rolling elements precisely. Brass is characterised by good free-running properties as well as resistance to vibrations and shock loads. The version with C3 bearing clearance has a slightly increased radial clearance compared with the standard clearance (PN). This counteracts any tightening of the rolling elements when operational temperature differences occur between the inner and outer rings, or when tight fits on the shaft and housing reduce the bearing clearance once the bearing is installed.
What are the dimensions of the 6048 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing?
This large bearing has a bore of 240 mm, an outside diameter of 360 mm and a width across flats of 56 mm. When fitted in a cylindrical arrangement to tolerance class P0, the outer ring rests evenly in the housing without a flange or circumferential groove. The precise mounting dimensions ensure a precise fit on the shaft.
What does the suffix -M-C3 mean for this bearing?
The abbreviation M stands for a solid brass cage, whilst C3 denotes a radial bearing clearance that is greater than the standard clearance. This combination is recommended in cases of higher vibrations or noticeable heating during operation, as the brass cage remains stable and the C3 bearing clearance counteracts any distortion of the rolling elements.
Why is the 6048 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing supplied without seals?
As an open roller bearing, this design has neither cover seals nor lip seals, which allows unimpeded access of lubricant in the case of external oil or grease lubrication. The bearing is primarily used in enclosed housings, where the sealing function is provided by external sealing systems. At the same time, the absence of sliding seals reduces frictional resistance.
Within what temperature range can the roller bearing be operated?
The permissible operating temperature range is between -30 and +200 degrees Celsius. The heat resistance of the 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and the brass cage enables operation at high process temperatures. When selecting a lubricant, users must ensure that its thermal load capacity corresponds to the relevant operating range.
What loads can a single-row deep-groove ball bearing support?
Single-row deep-groove ball bearings primarily transmit radial forces; however, due to the deep grooves in their inner and outer rings, they are also designed to withstand axial forces in both directions. Consequently, the bearing functions as a fixed or floating bearing in industrial drives, provided that the external axial loads remain within the design limits.
What material are bearing rings and rolling elements made of?
Both the inner and outer rings, as well as the rolling elements, are made from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6. This material offers high resistance to fatigue under dynamic loading. The cage is manufactured separately from brass to minimise friction and wear when in contact with the balls.
