Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6200 /C3

SKF 6200/C3 compact deep-groove ball bearing with a 10 mm bore, increased C3 clearance and a sheet steel cage for demanding industrial applications.

The 6200/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing in a compact design with key dimensions of a 10 mm bore, 30 mm outer diameter and 9 mm width. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer performance class, this open rolling bearing is suitable for withstanding primarily radial loads as well as low axial loads. The design without seal rings allows for direct lubrication via the system’s operational lubrication circuit.

In which applications does the open deep-groove ball bearing 6200/C3 prove its worth?

This single-row bearing is predominantly used in gearboxes, electric motors, pumps and mechanical drives in general mechanical engineering. Thanks to its open design without an integrated seal, the bearing operates with low friction and is lubricated directly via the existing oil or grease lubrication system within the housing. Design engineers often use the 10x30x9 mm size for compact shaft mountings, where the bearing is protected from contamination by surrounding components.

What are the advantages of increased C3 bearing clearance and tolerance class P6/P5?

The version with a slightly increased radial clearance (C3) compensates for thermal expansion at operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +150 degrees, as well as for tight fits on the shaft and housing. This ensures smooth running even under thermal stress. Furthermore, the bearing meets high standards: it features dimensional accuracy to P6 and running accuracy to P5, which contributes to reduced concentricity errors and smooth operation.
