Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6056 M

The SKF 6056 M open deep-groove ball bearing with a brass cage, measuring 280 x 420 x 65 mm, is suitable for demanding industrial applications.

This single-row ball bearing accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel, the product is characterised by excellent dimensional stability within a temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees Celsius. Thanks to its design featuring solid rings and deep raceway geometry, this large bearing offers smooth running with guided rolling elements.

What is the 6056 M deep-groove ball bearing suitable for in plant engineering?

Design engineers use this size in heavy-duty drives, large gearboxes and general mechanical engineering. With an outer diameter of 420 mm, a bore of 280 mm and a width of 65 mm, the bearing supports solid shaft guides. As it is designed as an open bearing without integrated seals, it can be flexibly integrated into assemblies lubricated on site, where the lubricant can circulate freely and an external housing seal is in place.

What are the key features of the brass cage and the design?

The integrated brass cage guides the rolling elements and provides mechanical strength under dynamic loads. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0/PN (equivalent to ABEC 1), the component is suitable for defined standard operating conditions. The outer ring has no groove or flange, which facilitates axial guidance and installation in smooth-walled housing bores.
