Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6022 /C3

The SKF 6022/C3 single-row deep-groove ball bearing, with a bore of 110 mm, an outside diameter of 170 mm and increased bearing clearance, offers a high level of operational reliability under thermal variations.

The SKF 6022/C3 single-row deep groove ball bearing is designed primarily for radial loads whilst also accommodating axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) with standard tolerance P0/PN (ABEC 1), this open rolling bearing is suitable for industrial applications with an external lubrication system. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements at temperatures ranging from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What is the 6022/C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is suitable for mounting positions subject to predominantly radial loads and thermal differences between the rotating shaft and the housing. It is primarily used in enclosed assemblies where external seals and lubrication systems protect the open component from contamination and ensure a continuous supply of lubricant. The deep raceways enable the reliable guidance of 110 mm shafts and accommodate combined loads whilst ensuring smooth running.

What is the function of the increased bearing clearance C3?

The suffix /C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional clearance between the rolling elements and raceways compensates for thermal expansion when temperature differences arise between the shaft and housing during operation. Tight fits also reduce bearing clearance during press-fitting, which is why the C3 version helps to prevent the bearing from becoming stressed by press-fitting forces.
