Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6202 -Z/C3

The SKF 6202 -Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing, measuring 15x35x11 mm, with C3 clearance and a single-sided cover plate, provides precise guidance for rotating shafts.

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6202 -Z/C3 accommodates radial forces as well as axial forces in both directions. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel in the SKF Explorer design, the component features enhanced dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to P5. A dimensionally stable sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly within a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees Celsius.

In which applications does the 6202-Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing prove its worth?

The deep-groove ball bearing is used in rotating assemblies subject to predominantly radial and moderate axial loads. The design is intended for installation locations where one side of the bearing needs to be protected from coarse dirt particles, whilst the open opposite side allows lubricant exchange via the housing. With a bore of 15 mm, an outer ring without a groove and compact external dimensions, the bearing unit can be fitted with a precise fit.

What functional properties do the Z-cover plate and C3 bearing clearance offer?

The suffix ‘Z’ denotes a non-contact sheet metal cover fitted on one side. This shields the interior from solid particles without generating additional friction or heat. The increased radial bearing clearance (C3) is designed to compensate for operational temperature expansion of the shaft and inner ring. Furthermore, in the case of tight fits, the increased bearing clearance helps to prevent the rolling elements from seizing under thermal stress.
