Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6015 -RS1

The SKF 6015-RS1 single-row deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 75x115x20 mm and a single-sided seal, provides targeted protection for rotating shafts.

The 6015-RS1 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from SKF’s Explorer performance class. With a bore of 75 mm, an outside diameter of 115 mm and a width of 20 mm, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial loads. The sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly in the raceways at operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, this design combines enhanced dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 with the standard running accuracy of class PN.

What are the practical applications of the 6015-RS1 deep groove ball bearing?

It is recommended for use in bearing arrangements where shafts require radial guidance and axial forces occur in both directions. The single-sided seal leaves one side of the housing open, allowing lubricants from the interior of adjacent assemblies to reach the rolling elements. At the same time, the RS1 sealing disc shields the bearing interior from dirt particles entering from the outside. Designs with a single-sided lubricant supply utilise this combination to prevent contamination and minimise the need for relubrication.

What features does the single-sided RS1 seal offer in this bearing?

The RS1 design features a sealing disc that makes contact on only one end face. This design feature is suitable for arrangements where the bearing is supplied with lubricant from one side via a shared lubricant reservoir, whilst the sealed side faces the housing opening. Careful alignment of the sealing lip towards the source of contamination protects the contact surfaces. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures smooth rolling of the rolling elements within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius, whilst the outer ring, which has no groove or flange, fits flush into cylindrical housings.
