Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6032 M

The SKF 6032 M deep groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing measuring 160 × 240 × 38 mm with a brass cage, designed for both radial and axial loads.

The SKF 6032 M deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for industrial applications. It primarily supports radial loads and guides the shaft in both axial directions. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and designed to tolerance class P0/ABEC 1, the open bearing fits into suitable housing designs. The component is designed for an operating temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees.

What operating conditions does the 6032 M open deep groove ball bearing require?

This radial ball bearing is used with a shaft diameter of 160 mm when radial loads and axial guiding forces are present. Thanks to its open design, it is suitable for oil-lubricated systems or housings in which lubricants can circulate freely. As there are no sealing lips that come into contact with the bearing, friction losses are lower than with designs featuring contact seals. The bearing requires a clean installation environment or external seals to prevent the ingress of contaminants.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in the 6032 M?

The suffix ‘M’ denotes a solid brass cage that guides the rolling elements. This cage design offers high dimensional stability under vibrations and shock loads. Manufactured with a standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for applications with standard fits where no significant temperature differences occur between the inner and outer rings during operation.
