Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6238 -M

The FAG 6238-M single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 190 × 340 × 55 mm and a brass cage, offers a robust solution for heavy-duty industrial applications.

The 6238-M deep groove ball bearing is an open, large-size bearing designed primarily for radial loads, which also accommodates axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6 and available in standard tolerance P0/PN, this bearing is suitable for demanding mechanical engineering designs. The bearing covers an operating temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees and can be integrated into existing plant designs.

In which applications is the 6238-M deep groove ball bearing used?

This large-diameter rolling bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements subject to high loads and featuring large shaft diameters. With a bore of 190 mm and an outer diameter of 340 mm, it can accommodate considerable radial forces as well as axial forces on both sides. Maintenance engineers use this single-row radial bearing for straightforward installation procedures, whilst the manufacture to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 specifies defined mounting dimensions.

What properties does the brass cage offer in this large bearing?

The designator ‘M’ refers to a solid brass cage that guides the rolling elements. Compared with standard sheet metal cages, brass offers greater resistance to vibrations, impacts and thermal stress. As this is an open design without sealing washers, users can flexibly select the lubricant and external housing seal to suit the specific operating environment. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures balanced operating clearance for typical mounting fits.
