Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6205 -2Z

The SKF 6205-2Z deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 25x52x15 mm and non-contacting end shields, offers low-friction operation for demanding industrial applications.

The 6205-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer performance class. With a bore of 25 mm, an outside diameter of 52 mm and a width of 15 mm, this component primarily accommodates radial loads and moderate axial loads. The outer ring has no flange or groove. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-bearing steel and fitted with a sheet steel cage, this bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees.

What is the SKF 6205-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

It is primarily used in rotating shaft assemblies where low friction torque and protection against coarse dirt particles are required. Typical applications include high-speed rotating shafts subject to moderate radial loads. Thanks to the non-contact gap seal, the lubricant remains within the bearing chamber without generating additional frictional heat. For maintenance engineers and original equipment manufacturers, this component offers a suitable solution for continuously rotating shafts at high speeds with minimal maintenance requirements.

What are the advantages of the 2Z cover plates and the P6/P5 tolerances?

The sheet metal end caps on both sides (designation -2Z) protect the bearing interior from solid contaminants and keep the grease inside, whilst the standard radial bearing clearance ensures stable operation under standard installation conditions. A key feature lies in the manufacturing process: dimensional accuracy complies with Class P6, whilst running accuracy in accordance with Class P5 specifies even tighter concentricity tolerances. This reduces vibrations during operation, which plays a particularly important role in drives with high concentricity requirements.
