Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6015 -2Z-C3

The FAG 6015 -2Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 75 × 115 × 20 mm, end shields on both sides and a C3 clearance, is designed to support rotating shafts.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6015 -2Z-C3 from FAG Rolling Bearings is designed primarily to accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, this rolling bearing has a bore of 75 mm, an outside diameter of 115 mm and a width of 20 mm. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly through the raceways. Thanks to the factory-fitted lip seals, the lubricant remains inside the bearing whilst coarse dirt particles are kept out.

What applications is the 6015 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Rotating shaft assemblies with a diameter of 75 mm utilise the 6015 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing to support radial loads. This design is particularly suitable for bearing arrangements involving uniform rotational movement where compact radial dimensions are required. Thanks to the non-contact gap seals, the bearing operates with low friction and is suitable for medium to high speeds. Use is recommended in enclosed housings, which provide additional protection for the bearing against heavy environmental contamination.

What do the cover plates and C3 bearing clearance mean in the 6015-2Z-C3?

The suffix 2Z denotes cover plates on both sides made of sheet steel, which act as non-contact seals. These plates do not generate any additional frictional torque, but do protect against solid foreign particles. The designation C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance. This increased clearance between the balls and raceways compensates for thermal expansion at operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +120 degrees. Furthermore, the C3 bearing clearance helps to prevent the bearing from seizing in the case of tight press fits.
