The SKF 6007-2RS1/C3 is an SKF Explorer single row deep groove ball bearing designed for rotating machinery requiring a 35mm shaft bore and increased radial internal clearance. Measuring 35 x 62 x 14mm, it combines the compact 60 series profile with two rubber contact seals that retain factory grease and help prevent contamination. The C3 clearance provides greater internal clearance than the standard CN version, accommodating applications where interference fits or operating temperatures reduce clearance. Suitable for selected electric motors, pumps, fans and industrial drive assemblies where C3 clearance is specified.
The SKF 6007-2RS1/C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing offers a compact bearing solution for 35mm shafts where operating conditions call for greater-than-normal radial internal clearance. With a 62mm outside diameter and 14mm width, its 60 series geometry occupies less radial and axial space than the heavier 6207 series. The single row deep groove raceways accommodate predominantly radial loads alongside axial forces in either direction, subject to the bearing's rated capacity. SKF specifies a basic dynamic load rating of 16.8kN and a basic static load rating of 10.2kN. The C3 suffix is a key selection feature: its increased initial clearance helps accommodate clearance reductions caused by tight fits or thermal expansion. It should be selected where operating conditions or the equipment manufacturer require it, rather than treated as a universal upgrade.
The 2RS1 rubber contact seals protect both sides of the bearing, retaining factory-applied grease and restricting the entry of dust, moisture and other contaminants. This makes the bearing useful in equipment where regular relubrication is inconvenient. SKF lists a limiting speed of 7,000rpm for the sealed configuration, although continuous operating suitability depends on loading, temperature, lubrication and contact seal friction. The bearing uses a sheet metal cage and has an approximate mass of 0.16kg. During installation, suitable shaft and housing tolerances are essential because interference fits influence the remaining operating clearance. For replacement work, confirm the complete 6007-2RS1/C3 designation: the standard-clearance 6007-2RS1 has the same dimensions but different internal clearance characteristics.
Typical Applications:
Electric motors requiring C3 internal clearance
Industrial ventilation fans and blower assemblies
Centrifugal pumps with specified C3 bearing fits
Compact industrial conveyor drive systems
Power transmission shafts subject to thermal expansion
