Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 16006 -2Z

The FAG 16006 -2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 30x55x9 mm, offers a particularly narrow design for compact applications.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 16006 -2Z from FAG is designed primarily to accommodate radial forces as well as light axial loads. Thanks to its narrow cross-section, this model is suitable for designs with limited radial installation space. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, this design is characterised by its dimensional stability. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways. With tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), the component complies with current standards in mechanical engineering.

What is the FAG 16006-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This design is used when only a limited mounting width is available on a 30 mm shaft. Typical applications include compact assemblies and drives with limited axial installation space. The sheet metal covers on both sides protect the bearing’s interior from coarse dirt particles. Thanks to its permissible temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, the rolling bearing operates reliably in many industrial environments.

What are the benefits of the -2Z version’s cover plates?

The suffix ‘-2Z’ denotes non-abrasive cover plates made of sheet steel on both sides of the bearing. Unlike abrasive sealing lips, these covers do not generate any additional friction, making the bearing suitable for higher speeds with low heat generation. The standard radial bearing clearance is designed to provide a defined operating clearance for the appropriate installation dimensions. For commercial users, this standardised product represents a reliable component for a wide range of applications.
