Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6010 -Z

FAG 6010-Z deep-groove ball bearing: Single-row rolling bearing (50x80x16 mm) with a cover plate on one side, designed for radial loads and compact installation spaces.

The 6010 -Z deep groove ball bearing is a versatile radial deep groove ball bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6). With a 50 mm bore, 80 mm outer diameter and 16 mm width, this single-row bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces. This FAG component features a standard radial clearance and a sheet steel cage that maintains an even spacing between the rolling elements.

What are the key operating characteristics of the 6010-Z deep groove ball bearing?

This single-row radial deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for designs with high demands on precise guidance during predominantly radial force transmission. As it is classified in the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), the unit fits into standardised housing seats without a flange or groove. The rolling bearing steel ensures dimensional stability under typical mechanical stresses in continuous industrial use.

What is the function of the single-sided Z-cover on this bearing?

The suffix -Z indicates a non-contacting cover plate made of sheet metal on one side of the bearing. This design shields the raceway against the ingress of coarse dirt particles without generating additional frictional resistance or heat during operation. The open opposite side ensures unobstructed access for lubricants from inside the housing. During assembly, the metal cover is usually fitted facing the side exposed to contamination.
