SKF 6206/C3 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6206/C3 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed to provide smooth rotation and effective shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its increased internal clearance makes it suitable for rotating machinery where C3 clearance is required.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6206/C3 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 30x62x16mm, the bearing offers a compact arrangement for equipment requiring the standard 6206 bearing size.
C3 Internal Clearance and Open Design
The bearing features C3 radial internal clearance, which is greater than normal clearance. This helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by tight shaft fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings.
Its open design without seals or shields allows grease or oil to reach the rolling elements directly. Suitable external sealing may be necessary to protect the bearing against contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6206/C3 can be considered for industrial rotating equipment where its dimensions and C3 clearance meet the operating requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Conveyor drive assemblies
Gearboxes and mechanical transmissions
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6206/C3 provides several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports smooth rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps compensate for reductions in operating clearance caused by shaft fits and temperature differences.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove design supports efficient operation at relatively high rotational speeds.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Effective Shaft Support: Its bearing steel construction provides strength for industrial rotating assemblies under suitable operating conditions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 30x62x16mm dimensions and C3 radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Operating loads and speeds should be checked alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure are also important. If normal internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a different SKF 6206 variant may be more suitable.
