Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6000 -2Z

The SKF deep groove ball bearing 6000 -2Z (10x26x8 mm) features non-contacting end shields, standard radial clearance and enhanced precision for a wide range of industrial applications.

The SKF 6000 -2Z single-row deep groove ball bearing is designed to handle predominantly radial loads as well as moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design, this bearing features an optimised internal geometry. A sturdy sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly into the deep raceways. The compact main dimensions – with an inner diameter of 10 mm, an outer diameter of 26 mm and a width of 8 mm – allow for installation in space-constrained designs.

What is the 6000-2Z deep-groove ball bearing suitable for?

This radial ball bearing is designed for compact rotating assemblies and precise shaft mountings. Thanks to the non-contact gap seals, there are no additional friction losses, which makes it suitable for use at high speeds. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Maintenance engineers and designers prefer to use this bearing in designs where coarse particles need to be kept out without the torque being compromised by abrasive seals.

What are the advantages of the cover plates and the P6/P5 tolerance class?

The suffix -2Z denotes cover plates made of sheet steel fitted on both sides. These protect the interior from particles and help to retain the lubricant. With dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to P5, the component exceeds the standard level of normal industrial bearings. This promotes low-vibration operation and tighter guidance accuracy on the shaft. During assembly, it is recommended that the shaft and housing seats be matched to these higher accuracy classes in order to fully utilise the bearing’s running performance.
