Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6226

The SKF 6226 deep groove ball bearing, with dimensions of 130 × 230 × 40 mm, features an open design for industrial applications involving combined radial and axial loads.

The 6226 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with standard geometry, manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel (100Cr6). Fitted with a sheet steel cage, this bearing guides the rolling elements evenly along the raceway. As this is an open design without integrated sealing washers, the lubricant can circulate freely within the housing. For designers and maintenance engineers, this size series – with an inner diameter of 130 mm and an outer diameter of 230 mm – is suitable for heavy-duty shaft bearings.

What is the 6226 deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

The 6226 deep-groove ball bearing primarily absorbs radial forces, but also transmits axial loads in both directions thanks to its deep raceways. It is typically used in shaft bearings with a diameter of 130 mm that perform both radial and axial guidance functions. Thanks to its permissible temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees, the bearing remains functional within these thermal limits. A clean housing environment is essential, as the open design offers no internal barrier against dirt particles.

What is important to consider with the 6226 deep-groove ball bearing in an open design?

When selecting the 6226 bearing, the fact that it is designed without seals plays a key role. The component requires external sealing via the machine housing, as well as appropriate lubrication with grease or oil. This model features standard radial bearing clearance, which ensures low-vibration operation with standard fits and moderate operating temperatures. With tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, the product meets current industry requirements for dimensional and running accuracy.
