Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6036 -M-C3

The FAG 6036 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with a 180 mm bore, brass cage and C3 clearance, offers consistent running characteristics under demanding thermal conditions.

The FAG 6036 -M-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing for shafts with a diameter of 180 mm. With an outer diameter of 280 mm and a width of 46 mm, the design is primarily designed to accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces. As this is an open bearing without integrated sealing rings, the lubricant can be flexibly adapted to the specific operating environment. The component is made of standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) and operates within a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees Celsius.

For which operating conditions is the 6036 -M-C3 deep-groove ball bearing designed?

This design is suitable for industrial bearing arrangements subject to high radial forces, where shafts with a diameter of 180 mm need to be supported. In lubricated housing systems, the open design allows for the free circulation of lubricating oil or grease. As it is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), the bearing complies with the standardised specifications for standard bearing seats under continuous operating loads.

What is the function of the brass cage and the C3 bearing clearance?

The suffix ‘M’ denotes a brass cage which guides the rolling elements and retains its dimensional stability even under vibrations or higher rotational loads. The designation ‘C3’ indicates a slightly increased radial clearance compared with the standard version. This increased operating clearance serves to compensate for thermal expansion caused by heating during operation or dimensional changes resulting from tight fits. Before installation, check the ambient conditions to select a suitable external seal and the appropriate lubrication supply.
