Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6010 -2Z/C3

The SKF 6010 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 50x80x16 mm, with cover plates on both sides and a C3 clearance, offers reliable running characteristics for industrial drives.

The 6010 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing combines precise running characteristics with protection against coarse dirt particles. Manufactured in the SKF Explorer design, this single-row unit meets the increased tolerance class P6 or ABEC 3. The dimensions – a 50 mm bore, 80 mm outside diameter and 16 mm width – enable the transmission of predominantly radial and moderate axial forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, the bearing performs reliably in industrial series production applications as well as during scheduled maintenance work.

Under what operating conditions does the 6010 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing perform well?

The 6010 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is suitable for rotating shafts subject to predominantly radial loads and medium to high speeds. As the cover plates on both sides operate without contact, hardly any additional frictional heat is generated compared with sliding seals. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius, whilst the sheet steel cage ensures smooth running.

What are the advantages of the C3 radial clearance and the 2Z end shields?

The C3 suffix indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This increased radial clearance helps to compensate for thermal expansion when the inner and outer rings reach different temperatures during operation or when tight fits reduce the bearing clearance. The cover plates on both sides (2Z) protect against dirt particles. The cylindrical outer ring has no flange or groove, allowing the component to be fitted flush.
