Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6006 -2Z

The SKF 6006-2Z single-row deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 30x55x13 mm and featuring cover plates on both sides, offers low-friction operation for demanding industrial applications.

The SKF 6006-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a versatile radial ball bearing in the Explorer performance class. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel, this single-row design primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. The sheet metal shields fitted on both sides protect the interior from coarse dirt particles without causing additional friction or heat build-up. This makes the bearing suitable for applications involving continuously high speeds.

What application requirements does the 6006-2Z deep groove ball bearing meet?

Thanks to its compact design and the non-contact gap seal, this design has proven its worth in shaft mountings subject to high speeds and moderate loads. The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along the raceways. The combination of low rotational resistance and effective basic protection is suitable for design and maintenance purposes where operating conditions range from clean to moderately dusty and low-maintenance operation is required.

What characteristics do cover plates and tolerance class P6 offer?

The cover plates (suffix -2Z) cover the inside of the bearing on both sides without coming into contact with it, resulting in a lower friction torque compared to abiding seals. In tolerance class P6 (corresponding to ABEC 3), the bearing has tighter dimensional and running tolerances than versions with standard tolerances. This promotes smooth concentricity in the bearing seat. With normal radial bearing clearance, the bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees.
