Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6216 -Z

The FAG 6216-Z deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 80 × 140 × 26 mm and a single-sided cover plate, offers a functional bearing solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6216 -Z from FAG primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this bearing features a dimensionally stable sheet steel cage and complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). Thanks to its cylindrical outer ring without a groove or flange, the bearing can be easily integrated into standardised housing bores.

What is the FAG 6216-Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

In engineering and maintenance, this bearing design is the preferred choice for rotating shaft arrangements in general mechanical engineering and plant construction. Wherever shafts with a diameter of 80 mm need to be guided precisely, the 6216 design offers a tried-and-tested mechanical basis. The permissible operating temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees enables use under demanding thermal environmental conditions.

When is the single-sided Z cover plate the right choice?

The suffix ‘-Z’ denotes a non-contacting cover plate made of sheet steel on one side of the bearing. This design protects the bearing interior from coarse dirt particles, whilst the open opposite side allows unhindered access of lubricant from a shared gearbox oil or oil bath circuit. As the gap seal operates without contact, no additional friction losses occur, which promotes low-friction speeds. The normal radial bearing clearance helps to ensure that the bearing play remains within the specified limits under standard fits and operating temperatures.
