Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6026

The SKF 6026 deep groove ball bearing, with a 130 mm bore and Explorer performance class, offers a robust solution for high radial forces in mechanical engineering.

The 6026 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from SKF in the Explorer design. With a bore of 130 mm, an outer diameter of 200 mm and a width of 33 mm, the bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. The open design without sealing washers allows for flexible use in oil- or grease-lubricated housings. Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel, the material has proven itself through its high dimensional stability in demanding continuous industrial use.

In which applications does the open deep-groove ball bearing 6026 prove its worth?

This rolling bearing is designed for applications involving high radial forces and axial loads in both directions on larger shaft diameters. The open design is particularly suitable where the surrounding housing already provides external sealing or where an active lubricating oil circuit is in place. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees. The Explorer geometry and the sheet steel cage ensure smooth running during continuous rotational movement and help to minimise friction during operation.

What does the combination of an open design and P6 tolerance mean?

Classification in tolerance class P6 for dimensional accuracy means tighter manufacturing tolerances for the mounting dimensions compared with the standard tolerance PN. This ensures a precise fit on the shaft and within the housing. As no seals are integrated, the lubricant reaches the rolling elements unhindered. Care must be taken in the housing design to ensure protection against particles and moisture. The standard radial bearing clearance is designed for typical fit conditions and moderate operating temperatures.
