Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6015 -2Z

The SKF 6015-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with a 75 mm bore and cover plates on both sides, provides contact-free protection for industrial rotary movements.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6015 -2Z primarily accommodates radial loads and also supports axial forces in both directions. SKF manufactures this model from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel in the Explorer performance class. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, the bearing operates with low vibration within a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its compact width of 20 mm, this design is suitable for space-saving applications on shafts with a diameter of 75 mm.

What is the 6015-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in rotating assemblies and shaft designs. Design engineers use the bearing wherever medium to high speeds are required whilst maintaining stable shaft guidance. As the outer ring is designed without a flange or ring groove, the cylindrical ring fits flush into standard housing bores with a diameter of 115 mm. The integrated sheet metal cover protects the interior from coarse dirt particles without generating any additional frictional torque on the rotating components.

What are the key features of the cover plates and the P6 tolerance class?

The Z-cover on both sides shields the raceways against the ingress of solid foreign bodies. As these are gap seals that do not come into contact with the inner ring, the thermal load during operation remains low. A key feature of this bearing is its increased dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6, combined with standard running accuracy PN. This tighter manufacturing tolerance ensures a precise fit of the bearing on the shaft and in the housing, which minimises unwanted bearing play and promotes smooth running.
