SKF 6006/C3 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6006/C3 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for efficient shaft support and smooth rotation. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its relatively slim construction makes it a practical option for machinery requiring a 30mm bore and increased internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6006/C3 features a single row of steel balls running between precision manufactured deep raceway grooves. A stamped steel cage separates and guides the rolling elements during operation.
Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support. The 30x55x13mm dimensions offer a compact arrangement for equipment requiring the standard 6006 bearing size.
C3 Internal Clearance and Open Design
The bearing features C3 radial internal clearance, which provides greater clearance than a bearing with normal clearance. This helps compensate for reductions caused by interference fits and differences in temperature between the bearing rings.
Its open design without seals or shields allows direct grease or oil lubrication. Suitable housing seals may be necessary to protect against contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6006/C3 can be considered for equipment where its dimensions and C3 clearance meet the operating requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial fans and ventilation equipment
Pumps and fluid handling equipment
Mechanical drive assemblies
Industrial transmission equipment
General rotating machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6006/C3 provides several practical advantages.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps maintain suitable operating clearance where interference fits or temperature differences reduce internal clearance.
Low Friction: Supports efficient shaft rotation while helping reduce frictional losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Deep groove raceways support relatively high rotational speeds with appropriate lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct access for grease or oil lubrication.
Compact Construction: Provides effective shaft support within the standard 6006 bearing dimensions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 30x55x13mm dimensions and C3 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 normal internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a different SKF 6006 variant may be more suitable.
