SKF 6200/C3 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6200/C3 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 increased internal clearance makes it a practical choice for rotating equipment where C3 clearance is required.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6200/C3 features deep raceway grooves and a single row of steel balls guided by a sheet metal cage. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and supports effective load distribution under suitable operating conditions. With dimensions of 10x30x9mm, the bearing offers a compact design for assemblies requiring the standard 6200 bearing size.
C3 Internal Clearance and Open Design
The bearing features C3 radial internal clearance, providing greater clearance than a bearing with normal internal clearance. This helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings. Its open design without seals or shields allows direct grease or oil lubrication. Suitable external sealing may be necessary to protect the rolling elements against contamination and prevent lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6200/C3 can be considered for rotating machinery where its dimensions and increased internal clearance meet the operating requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation systems
Conveyor rollers
Mechanical drive assemblies
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6200/C3 offers several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports smooth rotation and helps reduce mechanical energy losses.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by shaft fits and temperature differences.
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 6200 bearing dimensions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 10x30x9mm dimensions and C3 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 normal internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a different SKF 6200 variant may be more appropriate.
