Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6206 -2Z

The SKF 6206-2Z deep groove ball bearing, with a 30 mm bore and sheet metal shields on both sides, offers protection against dirt particles under predominantly radial loads.

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing 6206-2Z from the SKF Explorer range is suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial machinery. Manufactured from case-hardened 100Cr6 standard rolling-bearing steel, the design primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial guidance loads in both directions. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the spherical rolling elements precisely and evenly between the inner ring and outer ring.

What is the 6206-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in mechanical engineering?

The 6206-2Z deep-groove ball bearing is primarily used in rotating shaft guides and compact drive assemblies subject to radial loads. Thanks to its standardised dimensions of 30 mm inner diameter, 62 mm outer diameter and 16 mm width, the bearing fits precisely into standardised cylindrical housing bores. The non-contact gap seals protect the interior of the bearing from the ingress of coarser foreign particles without generating additional frictional heat on the running surfaces.

What are the key features of the double-sided cover plate -2Z?

The double-sided cover with non-contact sheet metal discs keeps dirt particles out and helps to retain the lubricant inside the bearing. Unlike contact seals, the metal cover discs of the -2Z variant generate virtually no additional frictional resistance, which facilitates high operating speeds. With normal radial bearing clearance and the standardised tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, this bearing meets typical industrial requirements across a wide temperature range from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
