Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6010

The 6010 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with dimensions of 50x80x16 mm, is primarily designed to withstand radial loads in mechanical engineering.

The 6010 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from the 60 series with a symmetrical design for a wide range of industrial applications. It has a bore of 50 mm, an outside diameter of 80 mm and a width of 16 mm. The rings and rolling elements are made of standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) and are guided by a sturdy sheet steel cage. The open bearing allows free circulation of the lubricant and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What loads and operating conditions can the 6010 deep groove ball bearing accommodate?

This deep-groove ball bearing primarily accommodates high radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions on rotating shafts. Thanks to its open design, the component can be connected directly to on-site lubrication circuits, for example in recirculating lubrication or oil bath systems. The design allows for load-bearing bearing arrangements with a shaft diameter of 50 mm without requiring oversized housing dimensions.

What are the key considerations for the open design and standard bearing clearance?

The open design without integrated sealing washers requires a clean installation environment and external housing seals to prevent the ingress of dirt particles. With tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and standard radial bearing clearance, this model is suitable for standard installation scenarios without extreme thermal expansion. Before assembly, it is advisable to check the dimensional accuracy of the shaft, whilst the supply of grease or lubricating oil should be arranged in accordance with the relevant operating requirements.
