Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6017 -2Z-C3

The FAG 6017 -2Z-C3 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 85 × 130 × 22 mm, sheet metal covers on both sides and a C3 clearance, offers reliable running characteristics under thermal loads.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6017 -2Z-C3 primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements within the cylindrical raceway system, which has no flange or groove on the outer ring. This design is intended for applications where shafts with a diameter of 85 mm are supported and stable guidance is required.

For which operating conditions is the 6017-2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable?

This design is particularly suitable for industrial bearing arrangements subject to continuous radial loads and moderate dust exposure in the environment. As the cover plates are of a non-contacting design, no additional friction losses occur, making the design suitable for applications involving higher speeds. Should temperature differences arise between the shaft and the housing during operation, the design facilitates the compensation of thermal expansion.

What are the key features of the combination of a 2Z cover and C3 bearing clearance?

The two metal cover plates protect the interior from coarse dirt particles and retain lubricant within the bearing without generating mechanical frictional resistance. At the same time, the slightly increased radial clearance (C3) helps to ensure that no excessive compressive stress is exerted on the balls in the event of operational heating or tight fits. A temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees is permissible for safe operation.
