Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6207

The SKF 6207 deep-groove ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing measuring 35x72x17 mm, designed for radial and axial loads.

The SKF Explorer performance class version is made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) for the inner ring, outer ring and rolling elements. As an unsealed bearing with a sheet steel cage, this component is designed for applications where an external lubricant supply or a sealed oil bath is provided. The outer ring has no flange or groove, allowing the bearing to be fitted into through cylindrical housing bores.

For which operating conditions is the 6207 deep groove ball bearing designed?

As a single-row bearing, the 6207 deep-groove ball bearing accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. The open design, which does not feature abiding seals, enables low-friction operation at high speeds; however, it requires a clean installation environment and a continuous supply of oil or grease. Thanks to the unobstructed flow of lubricant, the roller bearing is suitable for enclosed assemblies with circulating lubrication.

What specifications apply to the tolerance class and radial clearance?

The component is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and has standard radial bearing clearance. This clearance compensates for operational thermal expansion of the bearing rings as well as fit-related effects during shaft and housing assembly. The permissible operating temperature range extends from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. As there are no integrated seals, protection against the ingress of solid particles must be provided by the surrounding housing structure.
