The SKF 6007-2Z shielded deep groove ball bearing provides a compact, low-friction solution for supporting 35mm rotating shafts. Its 62mm outside diameter and 14mm width make it suitable for equipment where the larger 6207 or 6307 series cannot be accommodated. The single row deep groove raceways support radial loads together with axial forces in either direction, subject to the bearing's rated limits. SKF Explorer specifications give a basic dynamic load rating of 16.8kN and a basic static load rating of 10.2kN, providing useful figures for bearing-life calculations and load assessment. The sheet metal cage separates and guides the rolling elements, while the normal (CN) radial internal clearance suits applications where increased C3 clearance is not specified.
The 2Z suffix identifies steel shields on both sides, rather than contacting rubber seals. These non-contact shields help retain the factory-applied grease while offering lower friction and less heat generation than contact-sealed arrangements. SKF specifies a reference speed of 24,000rpm and a limiting speed of 12,000rpm; these are distinct catalogue values, not guarantees of permissible continuous running speed under every operating condition. The shields provide protection against larger airborne particles but are less effective against water, fine dust and heavy contamination than suitable rubber contact seals. For equipment operating in cleaner conditions, this balance of shielding and rotational efficiency can be advantageous. When replacing a bearing, confirm the 35 x 62 x 14mm dimensions, shielding type and clearance designation, as the 6007-2Z/C3 and 6007-2RS1 have different operating characteristics.
Typical Applications:
Industrial electric motors operating in relatively clean environments
