Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6007 -2Z/C3

The SKF 6007 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 35x62x14 mm, with sheet metal end shields on both sides and a C3 clearance, offers a reliable solution for rotating shafts.

The SKF 6007 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel in the Explorer design. It primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its manufacture to tolerance class P6, this component is characterised by enhanced concentricity. Design engineers and maintenance engineers opt for this design when quiet, smooth running is required in mechanical and plant engineering.

What is the 6007-2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This single-row deep-groove ball bearing is primarily used in rotating assemblies and drive systems where constant speeds and moderate radial forces are encountered. Thanks to its robust sheet steel cage and an operating temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, it performs reliably under demanding industrial conditions. The non-contacting cover plates keep coarse dirt and solid particles out of the bearing interior. At the same time, they enable high rotational speeds, as they do not generate any additional friction compared to sliding seals.

What do the cover plates and C3 bearing clearance mean for this SKF bearing?

The suffixes provide information about the seal and the radial bearing clearance. The designation 2Z stands for sheet metal cover plates fitted on both sides, which retain the lubricant within the bearing. The designation C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional clearance compensates for thermal expansion caused by heating during operation or tight fits on the shaft and housing, without causing the rolling elements to become stressed.
