Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6013 -2Z

The SKF 6013-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 65x100x18 mm and featuring cover plates on both sides, offers protection against dirt particles whilst maintaining low friction.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6013 -2Z from SKF primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in the Explorer design, the bearing is characterised by precise manufacture to tolerance class P6 (ABEC 3). A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in the raceways, whilst the outer ring is designed without a flange or groove for standard housing installation.

What is the 6013-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This deep-groove ball bearing is primarily used on rotating shafts and machine axes subject to predominantly radial loads. The version with an inner diameter of 65 mm and an outer diameter of 100 mm meets typical requirements in general mechanical engineering. As the bearing is specified for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, it is suitable for protected industrial environments within these thermal limits.

What are the advantages of the cover plates and tolerance class P6?

The double-sided slit seals (-2Z) made of sheet metal protect the interior from the ingress of coarser particles without causing additional friction, as is the case with contact rubber seals. This is beneficial for applications involving higher speeds. Due to the tighter P6 tolerance class, the component exhibits greater concentricity than standard bearings. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance, it is suitable for precisely guided shafts without extreme temperature differences.
