Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6220

The SKF 6220 deep groove ball bearing is an open rolling bearing measuring 100 × 180 × 34 mm, designed for combined radial and axial loads.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6220 from SKF Rolling Bearings accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel in the SKF Explorer performance class, this bearing is suitable for demanding industrial applications in mechanical and plant engineering. With an inside diameter of 100 mm, an outside diameter of 180 mm and a width of 34 mm, this model complies with standard industrial dimensions. The standardised geometry simplifies design for new constructions and repairs.

In which areas is the 6220 deep-groove ball bearing used?

This rolling bearing is primarily fitted to rotating shafts with a diameter of 100 mm that are subject to combined forces. As it is an open bearing without integrated sealing rings, it can be integrated directly into oil circulation systems or lubricated with grease. The design primarily absorbs radial forces and provides axial guidance for shafts. Under operating conditions between –20 and +120 degrees, this version functions as a universal machine component.

What are the distinctive features of the open version of the 6220 deep groove ball bearing?

As an open bearing, this design has no sliding seals, resulting in lower friction losses compared to contact-sealed variants. A sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly along the raceway. The standard radial clearance is designed to suit standard fit conditions. Thanks to manufacture to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, the component can be fitted precisely onto shafts and into housings without a groove or flange. External housing seals protect the open raceways from contamination.
