Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6013 -2Z

The 6013-2Z deep-groove ball bearing is designed for industrial applications, accommodating shafts with a diameter of 65 mm whilst maintaining compact dimensions of 65 × 100 × 18 mm.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6013 -2Z from FAG Rolling Bearings is suitable for designs that primarily have to withstand radial forces. As they are manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements are characterised by high dimensional stability during operation. The component has a tolerance class of P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) and features standard radial clearance. Thanks to the metal shields on both sides, the lubricant inside the bearing remains protected.

What loads does the 6013-2Z deep groove ball bearing support during operation?

This rolling bearing is designed for rotating shafts subjected to predominantly radial loads and, where required, also supports axial forces in both directions. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways of both rings. The design covers a temperature range from –30 to +120 degrees, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications involving continuous rotational movement. As the outer ring has no flange or groove, the bearing can be fitted directly into smooth housing bores.

What is the function of the cover plates on the -2Z variant?

The suffix -2Z denotes two non-contacting gap seals made from profiled sheet steel. These cover plates keep coarse dirt and solid particles out of the bearing interior without generating additional friction or heat. Compared with contact seals, this design allows for high limit speeds. As the covers enclose the grease chamber on both sides, lubricant loss is reduced when fitted correctly. The absence of electrical insulation requires the surrounding structure to be insulated separately in the presence of electrical voltage fields.
