How the 6007-FAG model number is decoded

6007 is supplied open, without shields or seals, so the arrangement around it must supply and retain the lubricant. Within the extra-light 60xx section (diameter series 0 of ISO 15), multiplying bore code 07 by five gives the 35 mm bore; the 62 mm outside diameter and 14 mm width follow the same boundary-dimension plan. For a rotating inner ring on a 35 mm shaft under normal load, catalogue practice seats it on a k5 shaft fit with an H7 housing bore — confirm against the actual load direction and magnitude before committing. In the Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue this open execution carries the bare designation; protected variants are ordered separately with suffixes 2Z (steel shields), 2RZ (non-contact rubber seals) and 2RSR (lip-contact rubber seals).

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• At a 35 mm bore, a shaft-seat burr or an overtight setscrew can score the thin inner ring of 6007-FAG; check shaft finish and runout (target Ra ≤ 1.6 µm) before pressing it home.
• The 60xx extra-light section at 35 mm bore uses a smaller 62 mm OD than a 6207; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
• The open 6007-FAG has no lubricant retention: grease escapes and contaminants migrate straight into the 35×62×14 mm raceway, so specify a sealed arrangement for dusty or washdown duty.
• Storage matters for open bearings: 6007-FAG leaves the factory with rust preventive only, so clean it and apply the service grease at assembly even if the rings look oily from the wrapper.
• Do not quieten a noisy bearing by preloading it: the 6000-series is a deep-groove design, not angular-contact; axial preload raises temperature and shortens grease life.
• Grease compatibility is not guaranteed between fills: mixing lithium and polyurea thickeners in a 6000-series position can soften the mixture and leak — clean out the old fill before switching grease types.
• The open 6007 has no integral sealing; in the Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue the protected variants carry suffixes 2Z (two steel shields), 2RZ (two non-contact rubber seals) and 2RSR (two lip-contact rubber seals). Do not confuse FAG's 2RZ with a contact seal — the RZ lip does not touch the inner ring, which is why its speed capability stays close to the open bearing.
• FAG rates 6007 at 17700 r/min mechanical limiting speed (thermal reference speed 12600 r/min) — electric-motor territory; prefer the open or 2Z execution (sealed 2RSR variants lose roughly a third of the thermal speed) and confirm grease life at the reference speed for continuous running.
• The 35 mm bore puts 6007 in Schaeffler's general-purpose industrial range; the standard cage and CN clearance cover most electric-motor and pump duty, and FAG's X-life generation of these sizes carries higher ratings than legacy HR 1 printings — check the current eKatalog listing before reordering.
• At 17.5 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 10.3 kN static (C0), 6007 is a medium-load FAG bearing for most electric-motor and pump duty; check the static safety factor against C0 for preloaded or thrust-loaded arrangements.
• At 140 g, 6007 is light enough for hand assembly but should be pressed on with a fitting sleeve against the inner ring; do not strike the outer ring or cage with a hammer.
• The 35×62×14 mm envelope of 6007 gives a D/d ratio of 1.77 and 13.5 mm radial section height — a standard FAG medium section balancing load capacity and speed; the standard cage is adequate up to the listed speeds and C3 clearance is the common hot-shaft choice.
• The 17.5/10.3 kN load ratings, mass 140 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 6007-C on the 35×62×14 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6007 in a rated drive. Where FAG has since released an X-life version of this size, its expanded C/C0 ratings supersede the HR 1 print values quoted here.
• FAG standard tolerance for this size is P0 (PN); P6/P5 precision executions exist for spindle-adjacent duty but carry different order numbers in the Schaeffler system — they are not a selectable sorting of standard stock.
• Schaeffler's medias/eKatalog is the live source for the current execution of 6007: cage material, seal lip design and ratings can be revised between catalogue generations without any designation change.
