Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6215

The 6215 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 75 × 130 × 25 mm, offers a robust design for withstanding radial and moderate axial loads in industrial machinery.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6215 from FAG is an open radial deep-groove ball bearing designed for demanding mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6), this component is characterised by dimensionally stable rings and rolling elements. As this bearing is designed without integrated sealing washers, the lubricant can be supplied directly via the surrounding housing structure. The version with a cylindrical bore facilitates precise mounting on the shaft.

In which installation situations is the 6215 deep groove ball bearing used?

The 6215 deep groove ball bearing is suitable for bearing arrangements subject primarily to radial loads and simultaneously supports shafts in both axial directions. The open design is specifically intended for oil-lubricated systems or assemblies that are supplied via an external lubricant supply. As there are no sealing lips in contact with the bearing, the bearing starts up with minimal rotational resistance, which keeps friction losses in the running system to a minimum.

What are the key features of the bearing with a sheet steel cage?

A robust sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance and absorbs the forces encountered during normal operation. The open design allows the condition of the lubricant to be checked directly during scheduled maintenance and, if necessary, replaced without dismantling the bearing. The tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) and the standard radial bearing clearance ensure that the bearing components remain dimensionally stable and maintain their dimensions across the entire temperature range from -20 to +150 degrees.
