Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6230 M

With a 150 mm bore, a brass cage and an open design, the SKF 6230 M deep groove ball bearing offers a robust solution for demanding industrial applications.

The SKF 6230 M deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6). Fitted with a solid brass cage, the bearing guides the rolling elements stably under demanding operating conditions. With an inside diameter of 150 mm, an outside diameter of 270 mm and a width of 45 mm, this component primarily accommodates radial loads and moderate axial loads. Design engineers use this design when lubricants are supplied via a housing and high positioning accuracy is required.

What is the 6230 M deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

This bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements subject to high radial loads and in applications with housing lubrication. Thanks to its open design without sealing washers, the lubricant contained within the housing circulates unhindered between the inner and outer rings. The temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees allows operation in thermally demanding industrial environments, whilst the outer ring, which has no groove, ensures a secure fit within the housing.

What are the characteristics of the brass cage in the 6230 M deep groove ball bearing?

The designation ‘M’ indicates a solid brass cage. Brass is characterised by good emergency running properties in the event of temporary lubrication failure, as well as resistance to vibrations and shock loads. Combined with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), this results in a component manufactured to a precise fit. As there are no integrated seals, the housing must be sealed on site to protect against dirt and moisture.
