Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6016 -2Z

The FAG 6016 -2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 80x125x22 mm and cover plates on both sides, provides protection against dirt particles at high speeds.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6016 -2Z from FAG primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) and guided by a robust sheet steel cage, this component meets a wide range of requirements in mechanical engineering. The cylindrical outer ring is designed without a groove or flange. With an operating temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, the rolling bearing operates under standard thermal conditions.

What applications are suitable for the 6016-2Z deep groove ball bearing?

Design engineers primarily use the 6016 -2Z deep groove ball bearing in rotating shaft assemblies with constant speeds and moderate loads. The main dimensions, with a 80 mm bore and a 125 mm outer diameter, provide a solid basis for suitable shaft guides. Thanks to the non-contacting cover plates, the bearing operates with low friction, making it ideal for drives with high rotational speeds and low levels of contamination.

What are the distinctive features of the 2Z cover plates and the standard bearing clearance?

The suffix -2Z denotes sheet metal end shields fitted on both sides. These gap seals keep out coarse particles without generating additional heat through friction on the inner ring. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance (class P0/PN or ABEC 1), the bearing facilitates precise shaft guidance. This design is suitable for operating conditions that do not require increased bearing clearance and where thermal expansion remains within normal limits.
