Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6006 -2Z/C3

The SKF 6006 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 30x55x13 mm, C3 clearance and cover plates on both sides, offers reliable running characteristics for rotating shafts.

The 6006 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing in the SKF Explorer series, designed for a wide range of industrial applications. With dimensions of a 30 mm bore, 55 mm outside diameter and 13 mm width, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial forces as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel and featuring a robust sheet steel cage, it ensures smooth concentricity during continuous daily operation.

What is the 6006 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

Typical applications for the 6006 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing include rotating assemblies and shaft mountings in general mechanical engineering. Thanks to the non-contacting sheet metal cover plates, coarse dirt is largely prevented from penetrating the interior, whilst frictional resistance remains low. Manufacture to tolerance class P6 or ABEC 3 also contributes to precise rolling element guidance under demanding speed profiles within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What does the C3 bearing clearance mean for your bearing design?

The C3 designation indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional radial clearance compensates for thermal expansion caused by operational heating of the shaft or housing. Tight fits also reduce the internal residual clearance after assembly. The C3 variant is therefore particularly recommended for higher operating temperatures or tight-fitting surfaces.
