SKF 6005 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6005 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for efficient shaft support in compact rotating assemblies. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its normal radial internal clearance makes it suitable for machinery where standard clearance is specified.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6005 features a single row of steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. A sheet metal cage separates and guides the rolling elements during rotation.
Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support. With dimensions of 25x47x12mm, it offers a slimmer arrangement than the 6205 and 6305 bearing series while retaining the same 25mm bore.
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 makes it suitable for machinery with an appropriate lubrication system.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is required. External sealing may be necessary to protect the bearing against contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6005 can be considered for rotating equipment where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the machinery requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Mechanical drive assemblies
Industrial transmission equipment
General rotating machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6005 provides several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports efficient rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Slim Construction: Provides shaft support in assemblies requiring a 25mm bore with a relatively small outside diameter.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove design supports relatively high rotational speeds with suitable lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Normal Internal Clearance: Provides a standard clearance arrangement for equipment where CN clearance is specified.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 25x47x12mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure should also be considered. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, an appropriate SKF 6005/C3 or sealed or shielded variant may be more suitable.
