Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6026 /C3

The SKF 6026/C3 deep groove ball bearing features a 130 mm bore, a 200 mm outer diameter and a slightly increased C3 clearance for demanding industrial applications.

The SKF 6026 /C3 single-row deep groove ball bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel in the Explorer design, this open rolling bearing is characterised by its precise machining. With key dimensions of a 130 mm bore, 200 mm outer diameter and 33 mm width, this size is designed for shaft mountings in mechanical engineering and industrial drive systems.

In which industrial applications is the 6026/C3 deep groove ball bearing used?

This roller bearing is typically used for larger shaft diameters where high rotational speeds and combined forces occur. As it is an open design without integrated seals, the bearing seat requires an external housing seal as well as a continuous supply of grease or lubricating oil. The built-in sheet steel cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance and is suitable for medium to high circumferential speeds.

What are the advantages of C3 bearing clearance and tolerance class P6?

The /C3 design features a slightly increased radial clearance compared with the standard clearance class. This radial operating clearance serves to compensate for thermal expansion at operating temperatures between –20 and +150 degrees and counteracts jamming in the case of tight fits on the shaft or housing. The combination of increased dimensional accuracy in accordance with tolerance class P6 and standard running accuracy PN promotes smooth rolling behaviour of the rolling elements.
