The SKF 6013-2RS1/C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing provides dependable rotational support for machinery requiring a 65mm shaft bore without the larger outside diameter of a heavier bearing series. Its 65 x 100 x 18mm dimensions make it particularly relevant where radial and axial installation space are restricted. The single row deep groove raceways support primarily radial loads alongside axial forces in either direction, within the bearing's operating limits. SKF specifies a 31.9kN basic dynamic load rating and a 25kN basic static load rating. These ratings help engineers assess fatigue life and stationary loading when selecting a bearing for industrial motors, pumps and transmission equipment.
The 2RS1 rubber contact seals protect both sides of the bearing, retaining factory-applied grease and reducing the entry of dust, dirt and moisture. Unlike the normal-clearance 6013-2RS1, this C3 version has greater initial radial internal clearance, allowing for some clearance reduction caused by tight shaft fits and differential thermal expansion. C3 clearance is not automatically preferable for every installation; the required running clearance depends on the actual mounting and operating conditions. SKF lists a 4,000rpm limiting speed for this sealed configuration. The bearing also features a sheet metal cage, SKF Explorer performance classification and an approximate mass of 0.441kg. For replacement work, confirm the C3 suffix as well as the dimensions, and apply mounting forces to the ring being fitted rather than through the rolling elements.
Typical Applications:
Industrial electric motors specified for C3 clearance
Centrifugal pumps and fluid circulation equipment
Industrial fans and ventilation drive assemblies
Mechanical transmission and belt-drive systems
Rotating equipment with interference-fitted shafts
