Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6014 -2Z-C3

The FAG 6014 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 70x110x20 mm, end shields on both sides and a C3 clearance, offers a reliable solution for rotating shafts.

The 6014 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a single-row rolling bearing for shaft diameters of 70 mm. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. Sheet metal covers on both sides protect the interior from foreign particles, whilst the steel cage guides the rolling elements. The design complies with the Normal tolerance class (P0/PN or ABEC 1) and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees.

What is the 6014 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is suitable for bearing arrangements with rotating shafts in the 70 mm range, where radial forces predominate. Thanks to the non-contact gap seals, the friction torque remains low, making this design particularly suitable for medium to high speeds. For maintenance purposes, the standard dimensions of 70x110x20 mm allow for rapid identification when required, whilst businesses are provided with a predictable basis for their ongoing spare parts requirements.

When is the C3 bearing clearance appropriate for bearing 6014-2Z?

The increased C3 radial bearing clearance compensates for thermal and mechanical dimensional changes caused by operational heating or tight fits on the shaft and housing. If the inner ring expands more than the outer ring, the additional radial clearance counteracts any distortion of the rolling elements. The 2Z designation also refers to cover plates made of sheet steel, which reduce the ingress of dirt without generating additional frictional heat at the sealing edges.
