Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6207 -2Z

The SKF 6207-2Z deep groove ball bearing, measuring 35x72x17 mm and featuring cover plates on both sides, protects against dirt whilst ensuring low friction loss.

The 6207-2Z deep groove ball bearing is a single-row radial ball bearing in the tried-and-tested SKF Explorer design. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), this component primarily accommodates radial forces as well as axial loads in both directions. This design features a cylindrical outer ring without a flange or groove. Thanks to its manufacture to standard tolerances (tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1), the component can be precisely integrated into existing shaft and housing designs.

In which applications is the 6207-2Z deep groove ball bearing used?

This single-row radial ball bearing primarily accommodates radial loads as well as moderate axial forces in both directions. Thanks to its standardised dimensions and sheet metal covers on both sides, this design is suitable for rotating shafts and housing assemblies in general mechanical engineering where protection against coarse particles is required. The design, which has no flange or ring groove, allows for straightforward installation in through-bore housings. In continuous operation, the symmetrical design ensures smooth running characteristics across the entire speed range.

What features do the -2Z version cover plates offer?

The suffix -2Z denotes two non-contacting sheet metal cover discs, which are firmly seated in the outer ring and form a narrow sealing gap with the inner ring. As there is no abating sealing lip in contact, no additional frictional heat is generated, meaning the bearing remains suitable for high speeds. In combination with the lightweight sheet steel cage and the standard radial bearing clearance, this model covers an operating temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius. Before installation, it is advisable to check whether the ambient conditions require non-contact covers or abating seals.
