Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6216 -2Z

The FAG 6216-2Z deep-groove ball bearing is designed for shafts with a diameter of 80 mm and protects the raceway on both sides against coarse dirt particles.

The 6216-2Z deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing manufactured by FAG, designed primarily to accommodate radial forces. Thanks to its deep raceways, this bearing can also transmit moderate axial loads in both directions. With key dimensions of an 80 mm bore, a 140 mm outer diameter and a width of 26 mm, the component is used in industrial powertrains and machine designs. The design complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What loads and operating conditions can the 6216-2Z deep-groove ball bearing accommodate?

This rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep grooves of the hardened steel rings. As the outer ring is manufactured without a flange or groove, the cylindrical ring can be fitted directly into smooth housing bores. The 100Cr6 material provides the components with the necessary dimensional stability during continuous rotational movement.

What is the function of the -2Z cover plate seal?

Two non-contact gap seals made from profiled sheet metal characterise the version with the suffix -2Z. These cover plates shield the interior of the bearing from solids and dirt without causing friction or additional heating at the inner ring. In conjunction with the standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing is suitable for common mounting fits without extreme temperature differences between the shaft and the housing. The defined operating range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius covers typical thermal requirements in industrial environments.
