Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6202

The SKF 6202 deep groove ball bearing, with a 15 mm bore, sheet steel cage and enhanced P6/P5 precision, ensures smooth running for compact shaft mountings.

The SKF 6202 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing made from case-hardened standard 100Cr6 bearing steel. With key dimensions of 15 mm inner diameter, 35 mm outer diameter and 11 mm width, this size is one of the most versatile components in mechanical engineering. In the SKF Explorer version, this type features optimised raceway geometries. Designed as an open rolling bearing, it allows for direct lubrication with external lubricants whilst the bearing is in operation.

In which applications does the 6202 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

The 6202 deep groove ball bearing is primarily used to support shafts subjected to radial loads whilst simultaneously withstanding axial forces in both directions. As the bearing is open at both ends, it is suitable for enclosed housing systems in which a lubrication circuit using oil or grease circulates around the rolling elements. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What are the characteristics of tolerance classes P6 and P5 for the 6202 deep groove ball bearing?

This rolling bearing combines dimensional accuracy in accordance with class P6 with running accuracy in accordance with class P5. This specification involves tighter manufacturing tolerances for bore and outer diameter, as well as a reduced runout error. At higher speeds, this promotes low-vibration operation with low noise levels. The design is complemented by a sheet steel cage to guide the rolling elements, as well as standard radial bearing clearance for typical operating temperatures.
