Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6013 -2Z-C3

FAG single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6013 -2Z-C3 with a 65 mm bore, non-contacting end shields and increased C3 bearing clearance for a wide range of industrial applications.

The single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6013 -2Z-C3 from FAG is primarily designed to accommodate radial forces as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the component measures 65 x 100 x 18 mm. Thanks to the integrated sheet steel cage, the rolling elements run smoothly and are guided evenly. Maintenance engineers and designers are provided with a standard-compliant rolling bearing solution in tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) for standardised shafts and housing bores without flanges or grooves.

What is the FAG 6013 -2Z-C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This deep-groove ball bearing is typically used in industrial drives and rotating assemblies. The sheet metal shields on both sides protect the bearing interior from coarse dirt particles without generating additional friction or heat. This makes the design particularly suitable for rotating shafts operating at higher speeds. The permissible temperature range extends from -30 to +120 degrees Celsius, enabling the bearing to be used across a wide range of applications in general mechanical and plant engineering.

What do the designations 2Z and C3 mean for this bearing?

The designation 2Z indicates two non-contacting metal cover plates, which retain grease within the bearing and provide protection against foreign particles. The suffix C3 indicates an increased radial clearance. This compensates for thermal expansion due to operating heat, as well as deflection or interference fits of the 65 mm shaft, without the bearing becoming stressed. Before installation, check that there is sufficient installation space for the outer diameter of 100 mm and the width of 18 mm.
