SKF 6002 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6002 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and efficient shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its compact dimensions make it a practical choice for rotating machinery where normal internal clearance is required.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6002 features deep raceway grooves and a single row of steel balls guided by a sheet metal cage. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support under suitable operating conditions.
With dimensions of 15x32x9mm, the bearing provides compact shaft support for assemblies requiring the standard 6002 bearing size.
Open Design and Internal Clearance
The bearing features an open design without seals or shields. This allows grease or oil to reach the rolling elements directly and provides flexibility for machinery with an appropriate lubrication system.
It has normal radial internal clearance for applications where standard clearance is specified. Suitable external sealing may be required to protect the bearing against contamination and prevent lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6002 can be considered for rotating equipment where its dimensions and operating characteristics meet the machinery requirements.
Small electric motors
Industrial fans and ventilation equipment
Compact pumps
Gearboxes and mechanical drive assemblies
Light industrial machinery
General rotating equipment
Benefits
The SKF 6002 offers several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports smooth rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Compact Construction: Provides effective shaft support within the standard 6002 bearing dimensions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove design supports efficient rotation at relatively high speeds.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Reliable Load Support: Bearing steel components and deep raceways provide effective load distribution under suitable operating conditions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 15x32x9mm 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 are also important. If increased internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, an appropriate SKF 6002/C3 or sealed or shielded variant may be more suitable.
