Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6030

The SKF 6030 single-row deep groove ball bearing, measuring 150x225x35 mm, offers a robust solution for high radial loads in open-type applications.

The 6030 deep groove ball bearing is an open radial rolling bearing designed for demanding shaft support applications in mechanical engineering. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), this single-row design primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways of the inner and outer rings. Designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +120 degrees, the component is suitable for industrial environments subject to thermal stress.

In which industrial applications is the 6030 deep-groove ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians primarily use the 6030 deep-groove ball bearing for heavy-duty shaft mountings subject to combined radial and axial loads in industrial drive systems. With an internal bore of 150 mm and an external diameter of 225 mm, the bearing stabilises heavy rotating shafts. The open design allows for the unrestricted exchange of lubricants in the oil or grease circuit. As a result, the bearing operates with low friction even at high speeds, provided that the surrounding housing design effectively prevents the ingress of dirt and moisture.

What design features characterise the open deep-groove ball bearing 6030?

Compared with sealed variants, the open design allows for direct lubrication via the centralised lubrication system. You are free to select the type and quantity of lubricant to suit the operating conditions of your system. As there are no abrasive sealing lips to generate frictional heat, the component achieves high limiting speeds whilst maintaining low torque resistance. When designing the assembly, ensure that external sealing elements, such as shaft seals, are fitted to the housing to keep the lubricant within the bearing chamber.
