Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6024 -2Z

The 6024 -2Z deep-groove ball bearing features a 120 mm bore, an 180 mm outer diameter and a width of 28 mm, with sheet metal end shields on both sides.

The 6024-2Z deep groove ball bearing from FAG is a single-row radial ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 120 mm, an outside diameter of 180 mm and a width of 28 mm, this rolling bearing is primarily designed to withstand high radial loads. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6 and fitted with a sheet steel cage, the design covers a wide range of applications. It is manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1).

What are the practical applications of the 6024-2Z deep-groove ball bearing?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians primarily use this bearing size in general industrial drives and rotating shaft mountings. As the bearing accommodates not only radial forces but also moderate axial loads in both directions, it is suitable for both fixed and floating bearing arrangements. The cylindrical outer ring without a flange allows for direct installation in standardised housing bores. Thanks to its temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees, the component operates reliably even under fluctuating ambient temperature conditions.

What is the function of the 2Z cover plates in this rolling bearing?

The cover plates on both sides, designated 2Z, are made of profiled sheet steel and act as non-contact gap seals. They keep out dirt particles and retain the lubricant inside the bearing. As the sheet metal discs do not come into contact with the rotating inner ring, no additional frictional heat is generated. In conjunction with normal radial bearing clearance, this design is suitable for typical operating temperatures and standard fits.
