Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6006

The SKF 6006 deep-groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 30x55x13 mm, offers compact dimensions and enhanced P6 running accuracy, and is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

The SKF 6006 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a 30 mm bore, 55 mm outer diameter and 13 mm width. As an open radial ball bearing without a flange or groove on the outer ring, it accommodates radial loads as well as axial guidance forces in both directions. The SKF Explorer quality version features a sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance. The component is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees and requires an external lubricant supply.

In which applications is the 6006 deep groove ball bearing used?

This single-row radial ball bearing is suitable for rotating shafts, gearbox units and industrial drives subject primarily to radial forces. Due to its open design without integrated seals, the rolling bearing is intended for applications with oil bath lubrication or an external grease supply. The 100Cr6 material and the dimensionally stable sheet steel cage ensure smooth running characteristics across a wide range of speeds. The internationally standardised main dimensions also facilitate replacement during routine maintenance and repair work.

What functional advantages does tolerance class P6 offer in the 6006 deep-groove ball bearing?

Manufacture to tolerance class P6, corresponding to ABEC 3, is characterised by tighter dimensional and running tolerances compared with the standard tolerance. This level of precision promotes improved concentricity, reduces vibrations and ensures smooth shaft guidance. When designing the bearing arrangement, the mating surfaces on the shaft and housing should be adapted to this tighter tolerance class. As the bearing is supplied unsealed ex works, a suitable housing seal keeps contaminants out and retains the lubricant within the bearing housing.
