Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6014 -Z

The FAG 6014-Z deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 70x110x20 mm, features a single-sided sheet metal cover for compact housing designs.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6014 -Z primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing features a robust sheet steel cage and complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). The single-sided Z-cover plate protects the bearing interior from dirt particles, whilst the open opposite side allows lubricant to be supplied via the surrounding housing space.

In which installation situations does the 6014-Z deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This bearing design is the preferred choice for use in enclosed machine housings with a central lubricant supply. As the rear side remains open, lubricating oil or grease can reach the balls and raceways unhindered. The metal cover plate on the opposite side acts as a barrier against the ingress of dirt. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees.

What is the function of the single-sided Z-cover plate?

The non-contacting Z-cover plate generates no frictional heat during operation, as it forms a narrow sealing gap with the inner ring. Compared with double-sealed bearings, the open rear side allows for flexible lubricant supply within the housing. The standard radial bearing clearance compensates for moderate thermal expansion during operation, whilst the flangeless outer ring fits flush with the housing bore.
