Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 6011

The 6011 deep-groove ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with dimensions of 55x90x18 mm, features an open design for radial loads in mechanical engineering.

The 6011 deep-groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with deep raceways, designed primarily to accommodate high radial forces. In addition, this design accommodates axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, this machine component is characterised by its strength and dimensional stability in continuous industrial operation. The bearing has a cylindrical outer ring without a flange or ring groove and complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1).

What is the 6011 single-row deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

Typical applications for this rolling bearing include bearing arrangements with rotating shafts and drives with a shaft diameter of 55 mm. As it is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, the component operates with low friction within the machine’s direct lubrication circuit. Designs with an external lubricant supply utilise this configuration, as the lubricant can reach the balls and the sheet steel cage unhindered.

What should be borne in mind with the open design of the 6011 bearing?

When installing this open version, external seals in the bearing housing must prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture and retain the lubricant within the bearing chamber. The product is manufactured with standard radial bearing clearance, which corresponds to standard operating conditions. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +120 degrees. When designing the housing and shaft, the outer diameter of 90 mm and the width of 18 mm must be taken into account.
