SKF 6200 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6200 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed to provide smooth rotation and efficient shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its versatile construction makes it a practical choice for rotating machinery requiring normal internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6200 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 10x30x9mm, the bearing combines a compact design with the load carrying capability of the 6200 series.
Open Design and Internal Clearance
The bearing features an open design without seals or shields. This allows direct grease or oil lubrication and makes it suitable for equipment with an appropriate lubrication arrangement. It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. Suitable external sealing may be necessary to prevent contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6200 can be considered for rotating machinery where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the equipment requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation systems
Conveyor equipment
Mechanical drive assemblies
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6200 open deep groove ball bearing offers 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 design supports efficient rotation at relatively high speeds.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Robust Construction: Bearing steel components provide strength and effective load support.
Versatile Design: Suitable for different rotating assemblies requiring the standard 6200 bearing size.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 10x30x9mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements. Operating loads and speeds should be checked alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and environmental conditions are also important. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, an SKF 6200/C3 or an appropriate sealed or shielded variant may be more suitable.
