Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 63006 -2RS1

The SKF deep groove ball bearing 63006 -2RS1 has compact dimensions of 30x55x19 mm and, thanks to the double-sided lip seals, provides effective protection against dust and moisture.

The SKF 63006 -2RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing manufactured from case-hardened 100Cr6 bearing steel. The design is primarily intended to accommodate radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Features include a standard radial clearance and a robust sheet steel cage, which guides the rolling elements evenly within the raceway. Thanks to the cylindrical outer ring contour without a groove or mounting flange, the bearing can be easily mounted in precision-machined housing bores.

In which applications is the 63006-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing used?

This deep-groove ball bearing is typically used in industrial drives, shaft mountings and power units that require effective sealing at moderate speeds. Designs make use of the double-sided sliding seal particularly where fine particles, splash water or ambient dirt need to be kept away from the raceways. As the permissible temperature range extends from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius, the component operates reliably even under fluctuating thermal conditions, without lubricant leaking prematurely from the bearing.

What are the key features of the 2RS1 seal?

The designation 2RS1 indicates sealing discs fitted on both sides that are in contact with each other. Compared with open variants, this design protects the lubricant fill from external contaminants. Although contact between the sealing lips and the inner ring results in a slightly higher friction torque compared with non-contacting cover plates, it creates an effective barrier against solid and liquid media. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures stable running behaviour within the usual operating limits.
