Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6020 -2RS1

The SKF 6020 -2RS1 deep groove ball bearing, with a 100 mm bore, double-sided lip seals and Explorer design, offers reliable protection in compact installations.

The SKF 6020 -2RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing for shaft diameters of 100 mm. As a versatile rolling bearing, this design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions. The design, made from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) with a robust sheet steel cage, is engineered for demanding industrial applications. The Explorer performance class is characterised by optimised internal contact geometries and precise manufacturing quality during operation.

What is the 6020-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in practice?

This radial ball bearing is used in rotating bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. With an outer diameter of 150 mm and a width of 24 mm, the 60 series requires comparatively little radial installation space. The double-sided seal effectively protects the interior against dust, dirt particles and splash water. This makes the bearing unit particularly suitable for operating environments where contamination is present or where external sealing systems cannot be fitted due to space constraints.

What are the advantages of the 2RS1 seal and P6 tolerance?

The factory-fitted 2RS1 seal washers contact the seating surface of the inner ring and retain the lubricant within the bearing chamber. Relubrication is not required during normal operation across the temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The increased dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 also ensures precise bearing seats and tight fits. In combination with the standard radial bearing clearance, the component ensures smooth running at standard operating and installation temperatures.
