Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6003

With dimensions of 17x35x10 mm, the FAG 6003 deep-groove ball bearing offers a compact rolling bearing solution for radial and axial loads.

This single-row FAG 6003 deep-groove ball bearing is made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel and is suitable for a wide range of applications in mechanical engineering. With an inside diameter of 17 mm, an outside diameter of 35 mm and a width of 10 mm, the component supports rotating shafts. The open design allows for direct lubricant supply within the system. Thanks to its manufacture to standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1, the component can be integrated precisely into standardised housings.

What is the 6003 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Designs primarily use this rolling bearing to accommodate radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Typical applications include compact drive systems and mounted shafts in general mechanical engineering. As the bearing is open on both sides, it is recommended for use in protected installation spaces with an existing lubrication supply, such as an oil bath. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What are the key features of the bearing’s open design?

In the open variant without integrated sealing discs, the lubricant reaches the rolling elements and raceways unimpeded. This promotes low friction losses and supports high rotational speeds compared to contact-sealed bearings. At the same time, this design requires the bearing location to be protected against dirt and moisture by the customer. The built-in sheet steel cage keeps the balls spaced apart. Under normal operating conditions, the standard radial bearing clearance ensures a balanced fit between the shaft and the housing.
