The SKF 6210/C3 deep groove ball bearing is an open single row bearing with increased C3 radial internal clearance and dimensions of 50x90x20mm. It supports radial loads and axial loads in both directions while providing smooth rotation with low friction. Its bearing steel construction offers effective shaft support for industrial machinery. The additional clearance helps compensate for reductions caused by interference fits and temperature differences. Its open design allows direct grease or oil lubrication with suitable external sealing.
The SKF 6210/C3 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and effective shaft support in industrial machinery. Its deep raceway construction accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. The increased internal clearance makes it suitable for assemblies where C3 clearance is specified.
The SKF 6210/C3 features a single row of steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. A sheet metal cage separates and guides the rolling elements during rotation.
Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support under suitable operating conditions. With dimensions of 50x90x20mm, it offers a smaller outside diameter and narrower profile than the 6310 series while retaining the same 50mm bore.
The bearing features C3 radial internal clearance, which is greater than normal clearance. This helps compensate for 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 necessary to protect against contamination and lubricant loss.
The SKF 6210/C3 can be considered for rotating machinery where its dimensions and increased internal clearance meet the operating requirements.
Industrial electric motors
Pumps and fluid handling equipment
Industrial fans and blowers
Conveyor drive assemblies
Gearboxes and mechanical transmissions
General industrial rotating machinery
The SKF 6210/C3 offers several practical advantages.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences.
Low Friction: Supports smooth shaft rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Compact Bearing Profile: Offers a smaller outside diameter than the 6310 series for assemblies designed around the 6210 dimensions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove construction supports relatively high rotational speeds with appropriate lubrication.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Before purchasing, confirm that the 50x90x20mm dimensions and C3 radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Lubrication and contamination exposure should also be considered.
If normal internal clearance is required, the SKF 6210 may be more suitable. For applications requiring integrated sealing, check the corresponding sealed or shielded SKF 6210 variants.
