The SKF 6216-2RS1/C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing provides substantial shaft support for industrial equipment operating with an 80mm shaft diameter. Its 140mm outside diameter and 26mm width suit machinery designed for the 6216 bearing envelope. The single row deep groove raceways accommodate predominantly radial loads together with axial forces in both directions, subject to the bearing's rated limits. SKF specifies a basic dynamic load rating of 72.8kN and a basic static load rating of 55kN, making these values important when assessing fatigue life and peak loads. The C3 clearance designation identifies greater initial radial internal clearance than the standard 6216-2RS1. This additional clearance can be necessary where tight mounting fits or temperature differences between the inner and outer rings reduce clearance during operation.
The 2RS1 rubber contact seals retain factory-applied grease and help prevent dust, dirt and moisture reaching the rolling elements, reducing the need for routine relubrication in suitable operating conditions. The bearing features a pressed sheet steel cage and an SKF Explorer performance classification. SKF lists a limiting speed of 3,000rpm for the contact-sealed configuration; the separate reference-speed figure should not be treated as the permissible operating limit. Although C3 clearance can accommodate certain thermal and mounting effects, it does not automatically make a bearing suitable for higher speeds. The correct clearance must be chosen according to shaft and housing fits, working temperature and loading. For replacement work, confirm the full 6216-2RS1/C3 designation, as the standard-clearance 6216-2RS1 has the same external dimensions but a different internal clearance specification.
Typical Applications:
Industrial electric motors with specified C3 clearance requirements
Large circulation pumps and rotating process equipment
Industrial gearboxes and mechanical transmission shafts
Heavy-duty conveyor drives and pulley assemblies
Agricultural and industrial machinery with thermally loaded bearing arrangements
