6013 Bearing Dimensions

Tolerances and fits for 6013

FULI makes 6013 to P0 as standard, with P6 on request. P0 is the Normal tolerance class of ISO 492; P6 limits are tighter. These are the P0 limits for the 65 × 100 × 18 mm size.

Δdmp and ΔDmp: deviation of the mean bore and mean outside diameter in one radial plane. ΔBs: inner ring width; the outer ring width has the same limits.

Shaft and housing fits (general guidance)

For an inner ring that turns with a solid steel shaft under normal load, bearing makers’ fit tables give 65 k5 for the shaft of 6013. The housing bore is usually H7, or J7 where the outer ring must not creep.

Taking the loosest and the tightest combination of limits, a P0 6013 on a 65 mm k5 shaft has 2 to 30 µm interference. Its outer ring has 0 to 50 µm clearance in an H7 bore and 13 µm interference to 37 µm clearance in a J7 bore.

This is general guidance, not a FULI specification. Heavy or shock loads, a hollow shaft, a thin-walled, split or light-alloy housing, or a large temperature difference between shaft and housing call for other classes, and the drawing of your machine takes priority. A tight shaft fit or a hot housing uses up internal clearance, and that is when C3 is chosen instead of C0.

If the outer ring turns and the shaft stands still, as in an idler pulley or a wheel hub, the fits are reversed: the housing gets the interference fit (for example N7 or P7) and the shaft a sliding one (g6 or h6).

6013 compared with nearby sizes

6013 measures 65 × 100 × 18 mm: bore d, outside diameter D and width B. Other deep groove ball bearings on this site for the same 65 mm shaft are 6213 (65 × 120 × 23 mm) and 6313 (65 × 140 × 33 mm).

6213 is the next heavier choice for a 65 mm shaft, with an outside diameter 20 mm larger (120 mm) and 5 mm more width (23 mm). In FULI's catalog 6213 has a dynamic load rating of 51.75 kN against 27.45 kN and a weight of about 1.000 kg against 0.439 kg for 6013.

6211 has the same 100 mm outside diameter with a 55 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a smaller shaft.

6309 has the same 100 mm outside diameter with a 45 mm bore, so it fits the same housing bore on a smaller shaft.

In the 60 (extra light) series the sizes either side of 6013 are 6012 for a 60 mm shaft and 6014 for a 70 mm shaft.

6013 weight, load ratings and speed

FULI's catalog gives the weight of 6013 as about 0.439 kg, so 100 bearings weigh about 43.9 kg and 1,000 about 439 kg before packing. The open, ZZ and 2RS versions share this catalog line.

6013 has a dynamic load rating Cr of 27.45 kN and a static load rating C0r of 24.19 kN. Cr is the load used to work out rating life; C0r is the reference for loads carried while the bearing is stationary or turning slowly. Limiting speeds in the catalog are 6,200 rpm with grease and 7,300 rpm with oil.

Contact seals add friction at the lip, so 6013-2RS usually runs below the speed of the open bearing. Ask us for the limit of the version you order.

6013 versions: open, ZZ, 2RS and C3

Every version of 6013 has the same 65 × 100 × 18 mm boundary dimensions; only the cover between the rings and the internal clearance change. FULI supplies open, ZZ and 2RS versions, with C0 clearance as standard and C3 on request. Other makers write the same covers as 2Z or ZZ for shields and 2RS1, DDU or LLU for contact seals.

6013 dimensions in inches

The nearest common inch shaft size to the 65 mm bore of 6013 is 2-9/16 in (65.09 mm), 0.09 mm larger than the bore, so 6013 will not go on it. Inch shafts need an inch bearing, not a metric one with a sleeve or shim.

Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.

Grease for 6013

FULI fills sealed 6013-2RS and 6013-ZZ bearings to about 30% of the free internal space as standard. The fill is set on an automatic greasing machine after sample sets are weighed before and after greasing. In normal use, sealed bearings usually do not need regreasing. A different fill level, a low-noise grease or a grease for a stated temperature range can be written on the order; for North America a range of −40 to 120 °C is often asked for.

Relubricating 6013 from the side takes about 9.00 g each time by the formula in our grease calculator: 0.005 × D × B = 0.005 × 100 × 18. This applies to the open 6013 in a housing with a grease supply.

How FULI supplies 6013

The standard 6013 from FULI has GCr15 chrome steel rings and balls, P0 precision, C0 radial clearance and vibration grade Z3V3; P6, C3 and other vibration grades are made on request. Radial clearance is set on automatic assembly equipment and sampled during production. Orders with a noise or vibration requirement are tested set by set before packing.

Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.

Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example 6013-2RS C3.
