Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6216 -2RS1

The SKF 6216-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 80x140x26 mm, offers protection on both sides against dirt and moisture whilst maintaining normal radial clearance.

The 6216-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With an inner diameter of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 140 mm and a width of 26 mm, this design primarily withstands radial loads, but can also accommodate axial forces in both directions. The outer ring is manufactured without a flange or groove. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly within the raceway system.

What is the 6216-2RS1 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in an industrial setting?

This rolling bearing is used in industrial bearing arrangements where medium to high radial loads and axial forces act on larger shaft cross-sections. Thanks to the integrated seals, the bearing unit is suitable for operating environments where it is exposed to dust or splashing water. As the design is rated for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, it meets standard thermal requirements in mechanical engineering and material handling.

What are the characteristics of the double-sided 2RS1 seal?

The suffix 2RS1 denotes two abiding sealing discs mounted on both sides. The sealing lips run directly on the inner ring and help to minimise the ingress of particles or moisture into the interior. At the same time, they reduce lubricant leakage. With the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, and the standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing can be fitted in accordance with standard installation tolerances.
