Deep Groove Ball Bearings SKF 6407

The SKF 6407 deep-groove ball bearing, measuring 35x100x25 mm, provides a robust bearing solution for combined radial and axial forces in mechanical engineering.

The 6407 deep groove ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing in tolerance class P0/PN, manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6). As an open variant, this bearing does not require integrated sealing rings, which minimises frictional resistance and allows for direct lubrication via an oil or grease supply provided by the customer. With an outer ring diameter of 100 mm and a 35 mm bore, the design accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in both directions.

What operating conditions does the 6407 deep-groove ball bearing require?

The single-row deep groove ball bearing 6407 is primarily used in shaft mountings subject to combined radial and axial forces, where clean lubrication conditions prevail. As the rolling bearing is of an open design, operation requires a protected housing that retains the lubricant and keeps out contaminants. Within a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees, the bearing is designed for continuous industrial operation, provided that a suitable lubricant is supplied.

What are the key features of the 6407 open deep-groove ball bearing with a sheet steel cage?

The integrated sheet steel cage guides the rolling elements evenly within the deep raceway. The bearing has standard radial clearance and offers standard precision in accordance with ABEC 1, which facilitates installation on cylindrical shafts. The outer ring is designed without a groove or flange, which requires a smooth cylindrical housing seat. For applications with external housing seals, this open model provides a low-friction solution.
