Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6214 -2Z-C3

The 6214 -2Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 70 x 125 x 24 mm, with cover plates on both sides and a C3 clearance, offers a robust solution for radial loads in mechanical engineering.

The 6214 -2Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from FAG Wälzlager designed for industrial drive and machinery applications. The bearing primarily absorbs radial forces, guides the shaft precisely and, thanks to its raceway geometry, also accommodates axial loads in both directions. Thanks to its standardised dimensions, you can easily integrate the bearing into existing assemblies.

What is the 6214 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is primarily used in rotating industrial applications characterised by a predominant radial load and fluctuating thermal conditions. The design is particularly suitable for applications where temperature differences occur between the shaft and the bearing housing during operation. The increased bearing clearance helps to compensate for thermal expansion without the bearing becoming stressed. At the same time, the sheet metal end shields effectively protect the bearing interior from coarse dirt particles.

What is the function of the C3 bearing clearance and the 2Z cover plates?

The designation C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional clearance prevents the rolling elements from becoming jammed when heated or in a tight press fit. The 2Z cover on both sides consists of profiled sheet steel discs. These non-contacting gap covers retain the grease inside and generate no frictional heat, ensuring that the temperature range from -30 to +120 degrees remains efficiently usable.
