Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6232 M

The 6232 M deep groove ball bearing from SKF Rolling Bearings, featuring a brass cage and a 160 mm bore, is suitable for industrial applications involving high loads.

The SKF 6232 M deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel. With an outer diameter of 290 mm and a width of 48 mm, the bearing primarily withstands radial forces. It is also suitable for moderate axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its open design without integrated sealing rings, the bearing can be integrated directly into existing lubrication circuits.

What is the 6232 M deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is primarily used in applications involving high mechanical loads and vibrations. The open design requires a housing that protects against the ingress of dirt. As there are no sealing lips in contact with the bearing rings, the unit operates with low rotational resistance. This version is designed for operating temperatures between –20 and +150 degrees and is intended for applications where lubricating oil or grease is supplied from the outside.

What are the features of the version with a brass cage?

The suffix ‘M’ denotes the solid brass cage that guides the rolling elements. Compared to sheet metal cages, brass is characterised by high dimensional stability and good emergency running properties. Furthermore, the material dampens mechanical shocks and vibrations. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0, this version provides dimensionally stable guidance for cylindrical shaft seats.
