Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6007 -Z-C3

The FAG 6007 -Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing combines compact dimensions of 35 × 62 × 14 mm with a single-sided sheet metal cover and increased bearing clearance.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6007 -Z-C3 primarily supports radial loads and guides shafts subjected to moderate axial forces. FAG manufactures this rolling bearing from standard bearing steel 100Cr6, fitted with a robust sheet steel cage. Thanks to its design without a flange or groove on the cylindrical outer ring, the component fits directly into standardised housing bores. The standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) defines the precise dimensional accuracy required for industrial applications.

In which applications is the 6007 -Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing used?

Typical applications for the 6007 -Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing are found in designs where one side of the bearing housing must be protected from dust, whilst the other side remains open to allow the circulation of housing lubricants. This design is specifically suited to assemblies that generate higher temperatures during operation or require tight fits on the shaft and housing.

What are the advantages of the Z cover plate and C3 clearance?

The Z variant features a single-sided, non-contacting cover plate made of sheet steel. This design keeps out coarse particles without generating any additional friction or heat. The C3 suffix indicates a slightly increased radial clearance. This increased clearance helps to compensate for thermal expansion caused by heat build-up during operation. Furthermore, the C3 bearing clearance counteracts stress in the rolling elements when the inner and outer rings are slightly expanded or compressed due to tight fits.
