Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6005

The SKF 6005 deep groove ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing with a 25 mm bore, 47 mm outer diameter and 12 mm width, designed for a wide range of industrial applications.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6005 is manufactured by SKF in the Explorer version. It is made from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6) and features rolling elements contained within a sheet steel cage. Due to its open design without integrated sealing rings, this roller bearing is particularly suitable for installation environments where sealing is provided by the customer. The design enables low-friction operation with normal radial clearance and covers a temperature range from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 6005 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 6005 deep groove ball bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. This design is predominantly used in rotating bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. As the outer ring has no flange or groove, the unit can be easily fitted into cylindrical housing bores. The clear passage without sealing washers allows unobstructed lubricant access via the machine’s central oil system.

What are the advantages of dimensional accuracy class P6 and running accuracy class P5?

In this design, the manufacturer combines dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with finer running accuracy to tolerance class P5. Thanks to these tighter manufacturing tolerances, the component exhibits lower run-out errors than standard designs. This promotes low-vibration operation during demanding rotational movements. For design and maintenance, this precision ensures smooth shaft guidance when a dimensionally stable bearing is required for the machine assembly.
