Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6200 -2Z/C3

The SKF 6200 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 10x30x9 mm and increased bearing clearance, offers reliable running characteristics at higher speeds.

The 6200 -2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing from SKF in the Explorer series. With an inner diameter of 10 mm, an outer diameter of 30 mm and a width of 9 mm, this rolling bearing is one of the compact standard bearings for industrial applications. The component is made of 100Cr6 rolling-element bearing steel and features a robust sheet steel cage. This design is characterised by increased dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P6 and running accuracy to P5.

Under what operating conditions is the 6200-2Z/C3 deep groove ball bearing required?

This roller bearing is primarily used in rotating bearing arrangements where radial loads are the predominant force. The design also accommodates moderate axial forces in both directions. As the manufacturer produces the bearing with the increased radial clearance C3, it is suitable for operating conditions involving thermal expansion of the shaft or housing. The permissible temperature range extends from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius, ensuring that its use in varying environments remains well managed.

What are the advantages of the 2Z end shields and the C3 bearing clearance?

The metal cover plates on both sides (2Z) protect the interior from coarse dirt particles without creating additional friction on the raceways. This ensures the bearing remains suitable for high speeds. The C3 radial bearing clearance prevents the rolling elements from seizing up due to heat build-up or tight fits. In combination with the enhanced P6 dimensional accuracy and P5 running accuracy, this design ensures consistent concentricity. Before installation, it is advisable to check whether the ambient conditions require this increased bearing clearance.
