Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6300 -2Z

The SKF 6300-2Z deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 10x35x11 mm, offers compact installation protection and low-friction running characteristics thanks to sheet metal covers on both sides.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6300 -2Z primarily accommodates radial loads and also supports axial forces in both directions. Manufactured as an SKF Explorer performance class rolling bearing, it is made from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel. The cylindrical outer ring has no flange or groove. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways. With standard radial clearance, this deep-groove ball bearing is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications with standard fits.

What is the 6300-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in practice?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians rely on this bearing for compact assemblies and rotating shafts. Thanks to its dimensions – a 10 mm bore and a 35 mm outer diameter – it fits into narrow housings. The non-contact cover plates keep out coarse dust and dirt particles without increasing torque through abrasive contact. The roller bearing is designed for operating environments ranging from -20 to +120 degrees.

What advantages do the -2Z cover plates offer over open bearings?

The double-sided cover with gap seals made of sheet steel protects the interior from the ingress of solid particles. At the same time, the design helps to ensure that lubricant remains inside the bearing. As the sheet metal cover plates do not rub against the contact surfaces, no additional friction losses or frictional heat are generated. This allows for use at high speeds. In clean to moderately dusty environments, this design eliminates the need for additional engineering effort to incorporate external sealing elements.
