SKF 6202 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6202 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and efficient shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its compact construction makes it a practical choice for rotating machinery requiring normal internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6202 features deep raceway grooves and a single row of steel balls guided by a sheet metal cage. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support under suitable operating conditions.
With dimensions of 15x35x11mm, the bearing offers compact shaft support for assemblies requiring the standard 6202 bearing size.
Open Design and Internal Clearance
The bearing features an open design without seals or shields. This allows grease or oil to reach the rolling elements directly and provides flexibility for machinery with an appropriate lubrication system.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. Suitable external sealing may be necessary to protect the bearing against contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6202 can be considered for rotating equipment where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the machinery requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation systems
Conveyor equipment
Gearboxes and mechanical drive assemblies
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6202 provides several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports smooth rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove construction supports efficient operation at relatively high rotational speeds.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Compact Construction: Provides effective shaft support within the standard 6202 bearing dimensions.
Reliable Load Support: Bearing steel components and deep raceways provide effective load distribution under suitable operating conditions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 15x35x11mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Operating loads and speeds should be checked alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure are also important. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, an appropriate SKF 6202/C3 or sealed or shielded variant may be more suitable.
