Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6013 -Z

The FAG 6013-Z deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 65 x 100 x 18 mm, offers protection against dirt particles thanks to its single-sided sheet metal cover.

The FAG 6013-Z deep groove ball bearing is manufactured as a single-row rolling bearing from conventional standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a cylindrical bore. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, this bearing is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). Single-row deep groove ball bearings of this design support the shaft during operation and, in addition to radial main loads, also transmit moderate axial loads in both directions.

What loads is the FAG 6013-Z deep groove ball bearing designed for?

The 6013-Z deep groove ball bearing primarily absorbs radial forces whilst also tolerating low axial loads in both directions. With a bore diameter of 65 mm, an outside diameter of 100 mm and a width of 18 mm, this design is suitable for shaft support in general mechanical engineering. The single-sided open design allows for direct lubricant supply within the mounting space, which offers practical maintenance benefits, particularly in housing-guided systems.

What is the function of the single-sided Z cover plate?

The suffix ‘Z’ denotes a cover plate made of profiled sheet steel that is pressed in on one side. This gap cover protects the rolling elements from the ingress of coarser particles without causing any measurable friction losses or additional heating. As the opposite side remains open, the rolling bearing can be relubricated from that side. The material combination is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees Celsius.
