Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6038 M

The SKF 6038 M deep groove ball bearing, with a 190 mm bore, 290 mm outer diameter and a brass cage, offers a robust solution for large shafts.

The 6038 M deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row large-diameter rolling bearing to tolerance class P0/PN, manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6. Designed as an open bearing, it primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial guidance forces on both sides. With dimensions of a 190 mm bore diameter, a 290 mm outer diameter and a width of 46 mm, the component is primarily used in heavy machinery manufacturing. The bearing is manufactured by SKF and has a standard radial clearance.

What loads does the 6038 M deep-groove ball bearing accommodate during operation?

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for large-shaft bearings where high radial forces and combined axial forces in both directions must be accommodated. The open design allows lubricant to be replaced via the surrounding housing, but requires a sealed housing construction to prevent the ingress of contaminants.

The component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees Celsius. The cylindrical outer ring, which has no ring groove or flange, is fitted directly into precisely matched housing bores.

What properties does the brass cage offer in this open roller bearing?

The brass cage guides the rolling elements with high mechanical stability and is suitable for applications involving vibrations, varying speeds and increased thermal demands. Brass has high strength and ensures reliable guidance of the balls during operation.

As there are no integrated seals, sealing is achieved via external sealing elements in the design. The standard radial bearing clearance is designed for installation situations with standard fits and uniform heat distribution.
