Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6006 -TB-P63

The FAG 6006 -TB-P6-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 30x55x13 mm and featuring a hard-fabric cage and increased C3 clearance, offers high running precision for demanding industrial applications.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6006 -TB-P6-C3 combines proven rolling bearing technology with features designed for high-speed applications. The rings and rolling elements are made from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6). Designed as an open bearing, this version allows unobstructed access for lubricant in the case of circulating lubrication or targeted grease lubrication. The combination of tighter manufacturing tolerances and a lightweight hard-fibre cage ensures smooth running with moderate heat generation within the operating range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 6006 -TB-P6-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is designed for rotating shafts that primarily accommodate radial forces and low axial loads. Typical applications include electrical machines, spindles or high-speed industrial gearboxes, where standard cages reach their thermal or dynamic limits. As the outer ring has no groove or flange, the component fits flush into cylindrical housing bores and requires a clean, external seal for the assembly.

What are the advantages of a hard-fibre cage and P6 tolerance?

The designation ‘TB’ indicates a hard-fibre cage that combines low friction with high strength at increasing speeds. Together with the P6 tolerance class, which corresponds to increased accuracy in accordance with ABEC 3, the design reduces unwanted vibrations and improves concentricity. The slightly increased radial bearing clearance (C3) compensates for thermal expansion between the inner and outer rings during operation, thereby helping to prevent the rolling elements from becoming jammed.
