Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6009 -Z

The SKF 6009-Z deep groove ball bearing, with a 45 mm bore, a single-sided Z-end cap and P6 tolerance class, offers precise operation for demanding industrial applications.

The 6009-Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design. With main dimensions of 45 mm inner diameter, 75 mm outer diameter and 16 mm width, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces. Thanks to its sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for specified speeds in industrial shaft mountings. The single-sided sheet metal cover protects the bearing’s interior from coarse particles, whilst the opposite side remains accessible for relubrication.

What is the 6009-Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians prefer to use the 6009-Z deep groove ball bearing in shaft arrangements where lubricant is supplied from one side. The single-sided cover keeps coarse dirt out from the outside, whilst fresh lubricant can flow in from the housing via the open side of the bearing. Manufactured to tolerance class P6 or ABEC 3, the bearing ensures low-vibration operation. The permissible temperature range extends from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius, allowing for use in thermally demanding conditions.

When is the single-sided Z-cover the right choice?

The Z-cover seals the bearing without contact and does not generate any additional frictional torque during operation. Choose this variant if dirt particles can only reach the bearing location from one side and you wish to keep friction to a minimum. Before installation, check the shaft diameter of 45 mm and the housing fit for the 75-mm outer ring without a groove. For applications with contamination on all sides, a double-sided seal is recommended instead, as this model is designed to be completely open on one side.
