Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6010 -2Z

The SKF 6010-2Z deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 50x80x16 mm, cover plates on both sides and tolerance class P6, offers precise operation for industrial applications.

The SKF 6010-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing for shafts with a diameter of 50 mm. With an outer diameter of 80 mm and a width of 16 mm, this rolling bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6) in the SKF Explorer design, the bearing is characterised by its smooth running. Maintenance engineers and purchasers value this model for standardised shaft mountings in mechanical and plant engineering.

What is the 6010-2Z deep groove ball bearing suitable for in operation?

Design engineers primarily use this deep-groove ball bearing where rotating shafts need to be guided. Typical applications include electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, conveyor systems and general drive units. Thanks to the sheet metal covers on both sides (-2Z), the bearing is suitable for environments with moderate levels of dust or dirt. With a permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, the bearing operates reliably under standard industrial operating conditions without premature loss of lubricant.

What is the function of the 2Z cover plates and tolerance class P6?

The cover plates on both sides act as a non-contact gap cover, keeping out coarse particles whilst keeping the friction torque low. With tolerance class P6 (equivalent to ABEC 3), the bearing offers tighter dimensional and concentricity accuracy than the standard class. The standard radial bearing clearance provides the necessary clearance between the rolling elements and raceways, provided there is no extreme heating of the shaft. A guided sheet-steel cage maintains an even spacing between the rolling elements.
