Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6014 -2Z

FAG 6014 -2Z deep groove ball bearing: A single-row rolling bearing with a 70 mm bore, end shields on both sides and a sheet steel cage for a wide range of industrial applications.

The 6014 -2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing to tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1). Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel, this design primarily accommodates radial and axial loads. With main dimensions of 70 mm inner diameter and 110 mm outer diameter, and a width of 20 mm, the bearing fits into standardised housing seats. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements within a temperature range of -30 °C to +120 °C.

What is the 6014-2Z deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in practical applications?

Owing to its suitability for radial loads and compact dimensions, this bearing is used to support rotating shafts in industrial assemblies. The single-row deep-groove ball bearing accommodates both constant and varying radial loads. As the cylindrical outer ring has no groove or flange, the component can be fitted directly into cylindrical housing bores. The non-contact cover protects the interior from coarse dirt particles.

What are the advantages of the -2Z cover plates and the standard bearing clearance?

The sheet metal cover plates on both sides of the -2Z design act as non-contact gap seals. They keep foreign particles out and, unlike abiding sealing lips, do not generate frictional resistance, which supports high limit speeds. The standard radial bearing clearance is designed for balanced operating temperatures and standard fit conditions. If significant temperature differences between the shaft and housing occur during operation, designers should consider variants with increased bearing clearance as an alternative.
