Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6206 -TB-P63

The FAG 6206 -TB-P6-C3 deep-groove ball bearing offers precise running characteristics with a hard-fibre cage and C3 clearance, whilst maintaining compact dimensions of 30 × 62 × 16 mm.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6206 -TB-P6-C3 primarily accommodates radial loads and is designed for shafts with an internal diameter of 30 mm. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this open bearing combines enhanced manufacturing precision to tolerance class P6 with a lightweight hard-fabric cage. The design, which does not include sealing washers, allows for direct lubricant supply via the surrounding structure and is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 6206 -TB-P6-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This special version is primarily used in rotating industrial applications where high rotational speeds and high concentricity are required. The hard-fabric cage is characterised by its low weight and operates with low vibration within the bearing assembly. Proven areas of application include dynamically loaded shaft bearings, in which the open rolling bearing is integrated into a protected oil or grease lubrication system.

What are the advantages of the hard-fabric cage and the C3 clearance?

The material of the hard-fabric cage dampens vibrations and reduces friction effects under dynamic loads. The C3 designation indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance. This additional clearance compensates for thermal expansion when the shaft and housing heat up during continuous operation, without the rolling bearing seizing up. In conjunction with the tighter tolerance of precision class P6, this ensures even load distribution and precise shaft guidance.
