SKF 6007 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6007 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and effective shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its design makes it a practical option for rotating machinery requiring normal radial internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6007 features deep raceway grooves and a single row of steel balls guided by a steel cage. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and supports efficient load distribution during operation.
With dimensions of 35x62x14mm, the bearing offers a relatively slim profile for machinery requiring a 35mm shaft diameter.
Open Design and Internal Clearance
The bearing features an open design without seals or shields. This allows grease or oil to circulate around the rolling elements and supports machinery with an established lubrication system.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. Suitable external sealing may be necessary to limit contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6007 can be considered for rotating equipment where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the machinery requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Gearboxes and transmission assemblies
General industrial machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6007 provides several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports efficient rotation while helping minimise mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Deep groove construction allows operation at relatively high rotational speeds with suitable lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Compact Profile: Provides effective shaft support within the standard 6007 bearing dimensions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 35x62x14mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Operating loads and speeds should be checked alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure must also be considered. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a suitable SKF 6007/C3 or sealed or shielded variant may be more appropriate.
