Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6222

The SKF 6222 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 110 × 200 × 38 mm, enables the precise transmission of radial and axial forces in mechanical engineering.

This single-row deep groove ball bearing 6222 belongs to the SKF Explorer series and is made from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel. As an open radial ball bearing, it accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. This design has no integrated seals, meaning that lubricant is supplied directly from the outside. The guided sheet steel cage spaces the rolling elements evenly and keeps friction and noise levels low during operation.

In which applications is the 6222 deep groove ball bearing used?

The 6222 deep groove ball bearing is primarily used in industrial drive systems subject to combined loads. As the bearing accommodates axial forces on both sides as well as high radial loads, it serves as either a fixed bearing or a floating bearing, depending on the bearing arrangement. The open design is particularly suitable for installations with a closed oil circuit or targeted lubricant supply, where external seals protect the bearing housing from contamination.

What are the distinctive features of the open design of the 6222 bearing?

Compared with designs that are sealed on both sides, the open deep-groove ball bearing 6222 does not exhibit any additional frictional torque caused by rubbing seal lips. This promotes lower operating temperatures at higher speeds. The lubricant can be flexibly adapted to the specific operating conditions. Manufactured to tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and with standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for standardised housing fits within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
