Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6206 -2Z

The FAG 6206-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with its non-contacting cover plates, protects against dirt particles in industrial drives, with main dimensions of 30 × 62 × 16 mm.

The FAG 6206-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing for shafts with a diameter of 30 mm. It primarily supports radial loads and guides shafts axially in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6 and featuring a sheet steel cage, the component withstands mechanical stresses in industrial operation. This design is used in a wide range of applications within mechanical engineering and industrial maintenance.

In which applications is the 6206-2Z deep groove ball bearing used?

This deep-groove ball bearing is primarily used in rotating systems that require medium to high speeds under moderate dust exposure. Typical applications include compact units and shaft mountings in general drive technology. As the bearing accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial loads, it serves as either a free or a fixed bearing. The cover plates on both sides protect the internal grease filling from coarse contaminants.

What technical features do the -2Z cover plates offer when selecting a bearing?

The suffix -2Z denotes cover plates fitted on both sides, made from profiled sheet metal. These gap seals do not come into direct contact with the inner ring. This prevents any additional friction, thereby minimising heat build-up and power loss during operation. The standard radial bearing clearance, in conjunction with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, ensures smooth running at operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +120 degrees. Before installation, the housing dimensions must be checked to ensure they match the 62 mm outer diameter.
