Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6202 -Z-C3

The FAG 6202 -Z-C3 single-row deep groove ball bearing, measuring 15 × 35 × 11 mm, offers compact dimensions, single-sided protection and increased bearing clearance.

The FAG 6202 -Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing conforming to standard specifications for universal use in mechanical engineering and drive technology. With a bore of 15 mm, an outside diameter of 35 mm and a width of 11 mm, the design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. The rings and rolling elements are made of case-hardened standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6). A sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly in the deep raceway.

What is the FAG 6202 -Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is suitable for designs with rotating shafts where one side of the housing is already sealed or separately lubricated. Typical applications include rotating components in general mechanical engineering and in drive systems. As the cover plate is of a non-contacting design, internal friction remains low, which makes it suitable for use at medium to high speeds. The single-row design, without a ring groove or flange on the outer ring, allows for straightforward installation in cylindrical housing bores.

What do the ‘Z’ cover plate and the ‘C3’ bearing clearance mean?

The suffix ‘Z’ denotes a sheet metal cover plate fitted on one side, which protects the bearing interior from coarse dirt particles, whilst the open side allows lubricant to enter from the inside. The additional designation C3 indicates an increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This increased operating clearance compensates for interference fits on the shaft and thermal expansion during operation. The component complies with standard tolerance class P0 (PN) or ABEC 1.
