How the 6026-ZZ-FAG model number is decoded

In the 6000-series (diameter series 0 of ISO 15) the last two digits encode the bore: 6026 carries bore code 26 = 130 mm. Outside diameter 200 mm and width 33 mm come from the ISO 15 boundary-dimensions general plan. Suffix -ZZ denotes two non-contact metallic shields; they retain grease and block coarse debris but are not liquid-tight. For normal-load mounting with a rotating inner ring on a 130 mm shaft, typical catalogue practice is a m6 shaft seat with an H7 housing bore — verify against the actual load direction and magnitude. Schaeffler HR 1 catalogue order number: 6026-2Z (FAG suffix 2Z), two non-contact steel shields, mapped here from the industry-neutral -ZZ spelling.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

• Mount this 130 mm bore bearing by heating the inner ring (induction heater, max 120 °C) — never drive it home through the outer ring or balls, that brinells the raceways.
• The 60xx extra-light section at 130 mm bore uses a smaller 200 mm OD than a 6226; load ratings are lower, so do not replace a failed 62-series bearing with a 60-series without re-rating the load.
• ZZ shields are non-contact: 6026-ZZ-FAG blocks chips and coarse dust but is not waterproof — do not install it expecting a pressure-wash seal, step up to 6026-2RS for that.
• Shielded 6026-ZZ-FAG units are typically greased for life; prying the shields out for regreasing usually bends them and leaves a gap that throws grease in service.
• Assign fits by which ring rotates: an interference shaft fit for a rotating inner ring; if the outer ring rotates instead, reverse the logic — a loose rotating ring creeps and frets its seat.
• The housing bore for the 200 mm OD should be round within IT7; an oval bore pinches the outer ring of 6026-ZZ-FAG and shows up later as two-point loaded raceway wear.
• Schaeffler HR 1 lists the shielded version as 6026-2Z — FAG suffix 2Z, two non-contact steel shields. The industry-neutral page spelling is -ZZ; quote the FAG order number when buying through a Schaeffler channel.
• FAG lists the mechanical limiting speed at 3800 r/min for 6026 (thermal reference speed 4350 r/min); the thermal reference speed is the binding figure for continuous duty — size the lubrication interval off the reference speed, not the mechanical limit.
• The 130 mm bore places 6026 at the lower end of Schaeffler's large-size range; at these diameters the pressed steel cage is speed-limited and FAG commonly offers a machined brass cage (suffix M) as an option. Verify cage material and relubrication provision with the distributor, and do not extrapolate small-bore speed ratings to this size.
• At 113 kN dynamic load rating (C) and 101 kN static (C0), 6026 is a heavy-load FAG bearing for industrial gearboxes and large conveyors; Schaeffler expects a machined brass cage (suffix M) at this rating for shock duty, and C0 must be checked against mounting or lifting loads.
• At 3310 g (3.3 kg), 6026 needs mechanical handling for mounting; Schaeffler recommends induction heating the inner ring (max 120 °C) rather than pressing cold, and a lifting provision if the housing is pre-assembled.
• The 130×200×33 mm envelope of 6026 gives a D/d ratio of 1.54 and 35.0 mm radial section height — a thin FAG section that saves space but is sensitive to misalignment and shock; keep the housing round within IT7 and the shaft deflection below the raceway contact envelope.
• The 113/101 kN load ratings, mass 3310 g here are Schaeffler HR 1 Rolling Bearings (Jan 2020) catalogue figures for 6026-2Z on the 130×200×33 mm ISO 15 envelope; internal geometry and ratings legitimately differ between brands, so re-verify before substituting another manufacturer's 6026 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 sealed units arrive greased for life with a lithium-soap fill; Schaeffler quotes a shelf life for greased bearings and recommends running stock first-in-first-out rather than re-greasing aged sealed units.
• 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.
