Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6010 -RS1

The SKF 6010-RS1 deep groove ball bearing combines compact dimensions of 50 × 80 × 16 mm with single-side sealing and enhanced P6 running accuracy for demanding industrial drives.

The 6010-RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from 100Cr6 bearing steel, with key dimensions of a 50 mm bore, 80 mm outside diameter and 16 mm width. This SKF design in the Explorer performance class accommodates radial and moderate axial loads in both directions. Thanks to the robust sheet steel cage and standard bearing clearance, the design operates reliably even under varying operating conditions. Thanks to the cylindrical outer ring without a groove, the component fits flush into standardised bearing seats.

In which applications does the 6010-RS1 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

This single-row radial deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for rotating shafts and drives subjected to combined loads. The RS1 seal, which seals on one side, is recommended for designs where one side of the bearing needs to be protected against ambient dust or splash water, whilst the open opposite side is lubricated via the oil circuit. The permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees enables operation in many demanding industrial environments subject to continuous loads.

What characteristics do the RS1 seal and tolerance class P6 offer?

When selecting bearings, the combination of protection class and manufacturing precision plays a key role. The single-sided RS1 sealing disc provides mechanical protection for the rolling elements without obstructing access for lubricant from the open side. At the same time, tolerance class P6 (equivalent to ABEC 3) offers tighter dimensional and running tolerances than the conventional standard tolerance. This design helps to reduce vibrations during operation and promotes smooth shaft concentricity.
