Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6324 -M

FAG deep groove ball bearing 6324-M, dimensions 120 × 260 × 55 mm, with brass cage, for radial and axial loads in heavy-duty machinery.

The 6324-M deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 120 mm, an outside diameter of 260 mm and a width of 55 mm, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads. The design also transmits combined axial forces in both directions. The manufacturer, FAG, produces this model from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 in tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1. The open design allows for direct lubrication from the outside.

What is the 6324-M deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 6324-M deep groove ball bearing is used in bearing arrangements subject to high radial forces and continuous, long-term operation. Thanks to its robust construction, the bearing can withstand high forces. The absence of integrated seals facilitates its use in enclosed housings, where external lubrication circuits provide a supply of oil or grease. Designed for a temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees, the bearing is suitable for a wide range of thermal requirements in mechanical and plant engineering.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in the -M version?

The suffix ‘-M’ denotes the solid brass cage that keeps the rolling elements spaced apart. Brass is suitable for high acceleration forces, vibrations and shock loads. Furthermore, the material is characterised by favourable friction properties and high strength. When designing the application, it is important to note that this open bearing is protected against the ingress of dirt by external housing seals. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures a balanced ratio between operating clearance and thermal expansion allowance.
