Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6017 -2Z

The FAG 6017 -2Z deep-groove ball bearing, with an 85 mm bore and cover plates on both sides, offers low-friction operation for radial loads.

The 6017-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing manufactured by FAG for shaft diameters of 85 mm. The design, made from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. With an outer ring diameter of 130 mm and a width of 22 mm, this unit is suitable for a wide range of rotational movements in general mechanical engineering.

In which operating environments does the 6017-2Z deep-groove ball bearing perform well?

The bearing is designed for rotating assemblies subject to predominantly radial loads and continuous rotational movements. The combination of a deep raceway and precisely matched steel balls ensures smooth rolling behaviour across the entire speed range. A guided sheet steel cage maintains a constant distance between the rolling elements, thereby minimising internal friction. The component is designed for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the function of the cover plates on both sides in the -2Z variant?

The suffix ‘-2Z’ denotes cover plates made of profiled sheet metal fitted on both sides. These gap seals protect the interior from the ingress of coarse dirt particles and reduce lubricant leakage. As the sheet metal discs end without contacting the inner ring, no frictional torque is generated at the sealing edge during operation. The unit therefore runs smoothly with normal radial bearing clearance and is suitable for use at high speeds.
