Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6024 -N

The FAG 6024-N deep-groove ball bearing, with its ring groove in the outer ring, offers a compact solution for axial fixation within the bearing housing.

The 6024-N deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with the following main dimensions: 120 mm bore, 180 mm outside diameter and 28 mm width. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, this radial bearing primarily withstands radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. The open design allows for direct lubricant supply within the system, whilst the integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at a uniform distance.

What loads and applications is the 6024-N deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This deep-groove ball bearing is designed for shaft mountings with a 120 mm diameter, which primarily combine radial and axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its manufacture to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, the model is suitable for standard industrial applications in general mechanical engineering. The open version is recommended for use in protected installation spaces where the surrounding housing shields the bearing location from contaminants and lubrication is provided centrally.

What design advantages does the ring groove on the outer ring offer?

The external groove on the outer ring serves to secure the bearing axially within a housing bore using a suitable retaining ring. This solution saves axial installation space, as it eliminates the need for housing shoulders or complex cover fixings. From a design perspective, it should be noted that the open bearing is manufactured without integrated seals and is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.
