Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6010 -2Z-C3

The FAG 6010 -2Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with a 50 mm bore, non-contacting end shields and increased C3 bearing clearance, offers a high level of operational reliability under thermal loads.

The 6010 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, with dimensions of 50x80x16 mm. This FAG bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its robust sheet steel cage and flangeless outer ring, the component can be easily integrated into cylindrical housing bores. It is suitable for demanding industrial applications within a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 6010 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

Rotating shafts with a diameter of 50 mm require precise guidance combined with low friction. The 6010 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing is primarily used in general mechanical engineering, as well as in gearboxes and drive systems. Thanks to the non-contact lip seals (2Z), the interior remains protected from coarse contaminants without any significant friction losses. The design is intended for medium to high speeds and has proven its worth in continuously operating systems.

What is the advantage of the C3 bearing clearance in the 6010 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing?

The designation C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This means that the rolling elements have slightly more radial play when the bearing is unmounted. This version is specifically used when temperature differences between the inner and outer rings are to be expected during operation. If the shaft heats up more than the surrounding housing, the inner ring expands. The increased bearing clearance counteracts the bearing becoming jammed and promotes smooth, even running.
