Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6213 -Z

The 6213-Z deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, measuring 65x120x23 mm, offers radial load-carrying capacity and protection against dirt thanks to a single-sided sheet metal cover.

The 6213-Z deep groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager is a single-row radial ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 65 mm, an outside diameter of 120 mm and a width of 23 mm, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial loads. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, this design features a robust sheet steel cage. If you are looking to purchase a precisely fitting bearing, this design meets a wide range of requirements in mechanical engineering.

In which applications is the 6213-Z deep groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians use the 6213-Z deep groove ball bearing primarily in gearboxes, electric drives and rotating assemblies. As this rolling bearing combines radial loads with axial forces acting in both directions, it is frequently used as a fixed or floating bearing on shafts with a diameter of 65 mm. The wide operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees allows operation under demanding thermal environmental conditions. The cylindrical outer ring without a groove ensures a uniform fit in housing bores.

What is the function of the single-sided Z cover plate?

The variant with the suffix ‘-Z’ features a non-contacting cover plate made of sheet steel on one side. This gap seal shields the rolling elements from coarse dirt particles without causing additional friction or heat generation. The opposite open side allows for lubrication via the interior of the housing or an oil bath, if required. The design must also take into account the standard radial bearing clearance and the tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) for standardised fits.
