SKF 6010/C3 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6010/C3 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and effective shaft support. Its 50mm bore and relatively slim cross section make it a practical choice for rotating assemblies requiring the 6010 size with increased internal clearance.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6010/C3 features steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. A sheet metal cage guides the rolling elements and maintains their separation during operation.
Its bearing steel construction supports radial loads and axial loads in both directions. The 50x80x16mm dimensions provide a more compact outside diameter than the 6210 series while retaining the same bore 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 interference 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 required to limit contamination and lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6010/C3 can be considered for equipment where its dimensions and increased internal clearance meet the operating requirements.
Electric motors
Industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Mechanical drive assemblies
Industrial transmission equipment
General rotating machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6010/C3 offers several practical advantages.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps maintain suitable operating clearance where shaft fits or temperature differences reduce internal clearance.
Low Friction: Supports efficient rotation while helping reduce frictional losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Slim Construction: Provides shaft support where a 50mm bore and relatively small outside diameter are required.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove design supports relatively high rotational speeds with appropriate lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 50x80x16mm dimensions and C3 internal clearance match your machinery requirements.
Operating loads and speeds should be considered alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure are also important. If normal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a different SKF 6010 variant may be more appropriate.
