Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6010

The SKF 6010 deep groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing measuring 50x80x16 mm and offering increased precision in accordance with tolerance class P6.

The SKF 6010 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel for combined loads. As an open radial bearing without an integrated seal, this component operates with low frictional resistance, which facilitates high rotational speeds. The SKF Explorer performance class version combines high-quality material with an optimised surface finish. With key dimensions of 50 mm inner diameter, 80 mm outer diameter and 16 mm width, it is primarily designed to support radial forces and also guides the shaft in both axial directions.

What is the SKF 6010 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This radial bearing is primarily used where an external lubricant supply and housing seal are in place. Typical applications include rotating industrial machinery with an external lubrication circuit and shaft diameters of 50 mm. As the component has an open design, the lubricating oil or grease circulating in the system reaches the rolling elements directly. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the balls evenly and retains its dimensional stability within the permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees.

What does tolerance class P6 mean for the 6010 deep groove ball bearing?

Tolerance class P6, comparable to ABEC 3, defines reduced dimensional and running tolerances compared to the standard. The bearing exhibits lower runout deviations on the inner and outer rings, which reduces vibrations during operation and promotes smooth running. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance, this variant is particularly suitable for applications where precise shaft guidance is required. During design, care must be taken to ensure that the surrounding bearing seats on the shaft and housing are adapted to this higher manufacturing precision.
