How the 6076-M model number is decoded
In the 6000-series, the last two digits encode the bore: 6076 carries code 76 = 380 mm (code × 5). The envelope is 380×560×82 mm (14.961×22.047×3.228 in) with a 90.0 mm radial section height, C 436 kN, C0 695 kN and Pu 13.7 kN. The open 6076 M carries no shields or seals and relies on application lubrication and external sealing. The M suffix identifies the machined brass cage execution, a separate order number from the pressed-steel version. Limiting speed 1800 r/min, catalogue mass 70500 g.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- slew and indexing drives
- large industrial gearboxes
- heavy conveyor drives
- hoists and winches
Known failure patterns
- contamination wear when the open arrangement is used without external seals
- lubricant starvation where no regreasing interval is maintained
- false brinelling from vibration while the shaft stands idle
- fretting corrosion on a creeping shaft or housing seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Clearance suffixes follow the seal code in the designation stack (e.g. 6076-2Z/C3 in SKF spelling); no suffix means normal CN internal clearance.
- Do not preload 6076-M to silence it: a deep-groove ball bearing is not angular-contact, and axial preload only raises temperature and shortens grease life.
- The M suffix on 6076-M denotes a machined brass cage: it is the choice for high speeds, marginal lubrication and shock/vibration duty, and it is temperature-tolerant where polymer cages are not — the 70500 g quoted mass includes the heavier cage.
- Open 6076-M needs external sealing at the arrangement level; in dusty housings its life depends entirely on those external seals and the regreasing schedule.
- Plan a relubrication interval for 6076-M; run-to-failure on open deep-groove bearings is the dominant early-failure cause.
- At 380 mm bore, C3 clearance is the safe choice when interference fits plus temperature rise consume the CN clearance; a hot tight bearing with no residual clearance fails fast.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of 6076-M?
The SKF 6076 M measures 380 mm bore × 560 mm OD × 82 mm width (14.961 × 22.047 × 3.228 in), mass about 70500 g. It is open, with no shields or seals.
How does the bore code in 6076 work?
The final two digits of 6076 are bore code 76, multiplied by 5 to give 380 mm.
What is the difference between 6076-M and a same-bore 62-series bearing?
Section height differs: 6076-M has a 90 mm radial section and C 436 kN; always match d, D and B — same bore alone never makes two bearings interchangeable.
Which fits should I use for 6076-M?
With a rotating inner ring use roughly m6 on the shaft and H7 in the 560 mm housing; reverse the interference if the outer ring rotates.
