Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6015

The 6015 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with a 75 mm bore and open design, offers a wide range of applications in industrial mechanical engineering.

The 6015 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing designed for a wide range of applications. FAG Wälzlager manufactures this bearing from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel with dimensions of 75 mm bore, 115 mm outer diameter and 20 mm width. As an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, it allows direct lubrication via the surrounding lubrication circuit. It primarily absorbs radial forces, but also supports shafts under axial loads on both sides.

For which bearing arrangements is the 6015 deep groove ball bearing suitable?

Design engineers prefer to use the 6015 deep groove ball bearing in sealed housings and assemblies where a housing seal is provided by the customer. Thanks to its open design, the lubricant circulates unhindered between the inner ring, outer ring and the rolling elements. The sheet steel cage guides the balls at constant rotational speeds. The bearing is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +150 degrees and is used in conventional shaft mountings with standardised installation spaces.

What are the characteristics of the open design with standard bearing clearance?

The version with standard radial clearance and standard tolerance P0/PN is suitable for standard fits without exceptional thermal expansion. As this bearing is of open design, there is no frictional resistance caused by rubbing seals. This promotes smooth rotation and minimises heat build-up during operation. Before installation, check whether the external lubrication supply is regulated by oil or grease and ensure that the installation environment remains clean.
