Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6300

With its compact dimensions of 10x35x11 mm, the SKF 6300 deep-groove ball bearing offers a robust solution for predominantly radial loads in mechanical engineering.

The 6300 deep groove ball bearing is a versatile rolling bearing for industrial and trade applications. As a single-row radial ball bearing, it accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel and fitted with a lightweight sheet steel cage, this Explorer version is characterised by smooth running characteristics. The open design, without integrated sealing washers, allows for flexible integration into existing lubrication systems, for example with oil or external grease lubrication.

What is the 6300 open deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is particularly suitable for enclosed housing designs and assemblies where external sealing is already in place. Thanks to its open design, the lubricant reaches the rolling elements and raceways unimpeded. Design engineers and maintenance personnel often opt for this design when lubricating oils are required to circulate freely. The permissible operating temperature range extends from –20 to +120 degrees and is suitable for both new designs and planned component replacement.

What is important to consider with the open design and standard bearing clearance?

When installing the 6300 deep groove ball bearing, you should take the ambient conditions into account. As this bearing is designed without sealing washers, the supply of lubricant and protection against contamination must be provided by the surrounding housing. The standard radial bearing clearance provides a balanced clearance between the rolling elements and raceways, which is designed for typical operating temperatures and standard fits. The P0 (ABEC 1) tolerance class corresponds to the tried-and-tested standard precision used in mechanical engineering and is compatible with suitable bearing seats.
