FAG 6230-C3 Radial Bearing, Single Row, ABEC 1 Precision, Open, Steel Cage, C3 Clearance, Metric, 150mm ID, 270mm OD, 45mm Wide, 38000lbf Static Load Capacity, 4000lbf Dynamic Load Capacity

FAG radial bearings are open single row bearings with metric dimensions for supporting radial loads. This single row bearing meets the PIRG Bearing Engineers Council (ABEC) 1 precision standard and has a C3 radial internal clearance greater than radial looseness between CN (normal) for performance in a narrow range to compensate for thermal expansion. The steel cage evenly distributes the spheres to evenly distribute the load, prevent contact and reduce friction, vibration and noise. This bearing has an open lubrication arrangement for use with minimal exposure to dirt, grime, debris and other contaminants. The FAG radial ball bearings are suitable for rigidity involving combinations of radial and axial loads as well as high running accuracy and high rotational speeds. Such applications include clutches, drives, gearboxes, compressors, pumps, turbines, printing and textile machines, etc.

Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: spherical, cylindrical, spherical, rod, needle, spindle or cone. All rolling bearings are open, shielded or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are lubricated and reapplied periodically depending on the application. The boot protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and reduce the speed and life of the ball bearing. Rolling bearings are used in a wide range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveyor equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts and rock crushers.

FAG produces a wide range of bearings in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the German Institute für Normung (DIN) quality assurance. FAG was founded in 1883 and is headquartered in Schwinnfeld, Germany.
