Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6036 -M

The 6036-M deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings, with a 180 mm bore, brass cage and open design, offers a durable solution for large-scale bearing arrangements.

The 6036-M deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for large industrial drives and general mechanical engineering. With an inside diameter of 180 mm, an outside diameter of 280 mm and a width of 46 mm, this rolling bearing primarily absorbs radial forces and supports shafts even under axial loads on both sides. The rings and balls are made of standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) in the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What operating conditions does the open design of the 6036-M deep groove ball bearing require?

This open, large-size ball bearing is primarily designed for applications with an external lubricant supply, such as in enclosed housings with oil or grease lubrication. As the bearing has no integrated seals, the lubricant reaches the rolling elements and raceways unimpeded. The permissible operating temperature range is from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius. The design, which has no flange or circumferential groove on the outer ring, allows for direct installation in smooth housing bores.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in the 6036-M deep groove ball bearing?

The solid brass cage of the -M version provides stable guidance for the rolling elements and is suitable for applications involving high levels of vibration and mechanical shock loads. In the event of a lack of lubricant or high accelerations, brass offers advantageous emergency running properties. In conjunction with the standard radial bearing clearance, this variant is suitable for precise shaft guidance where no thermal expansion of the shaft is to be expected.
