Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6222 -M-C3

The FAG 6222 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 110 x 200 x 38 mm, with a brass cage and C3 clearance, offers a robust solution for industrial shaft support.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6222 -M-C3 from FAG is primarily designed to accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), this design features a solid brass cage and increased radial clearance (C3). As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the lubricant can be flexibly adapted to the specific operating environment.

What operating conditions does the open deep-groove ball bearing 6222 -M-C3 require?

This deep-groove ball bearing is used in drives and machinery where fixed guides for shafts are required. Thanks to its open design, lubricating oil circulates unhindered through the component, making it suitable for recirculating oil lubrication or oil bath systems. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius. The solid brass cage guides the rolling elements precisely within the raceways, even during acceleration.

When are a brass cage and C3 bearing clearance the right choice?

The increased radial clearance (C3) helps to ensure that sufficient operating clearance is maintained within the bearing, even in the event of operational heating or a tight fit. Without this reserve, the internal components could become stressed and the service life reduced. Compared with standard sheet-metal cages, a brass cage offers favourable damping characteristics and withstands high guiding forces. When designing the assembly, it should be noted that this bearing has no cover or sealing washers and that protection against contamination must be provided by the housing.
