SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 is a sealed single row deep groove ball bearing designed for smooth rotation and effective shaft support in compact mechanical assemblies. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while combining increased internal clearance with integral contact seals.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 features a single row of steel balls running between deep raceway grooves. A stamped steel cage separates and guides the rolling elements during operation.
Its bearing steel construction provides strength and effective load support under suitable operating conditions. With dimensions of 10x26x8mm, it offers a slim bearing arrangement for equipment requiring the standard 6000 size.
2RSH Contact Seals and C3 Internal Clearance
The 2RSH designation indicates rubber contact seals on both sides of the bearing. These help retain the factory applied grease while restricting the entry of dust, moisture and other contaminants.
The bearing is supplied lubricated and sealed for low maintenance operation. It is not designed for routine relubrication.
Its C3 radial internal clearance is greater than normal clearance. This helps compensate for reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences between the bearing rings.
Applications
The SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 can be considered for equipment where its dimensions, sealed construction and increased clearance meet the operating requirements.
Small electric motors
Compact industrial pumps
Fans and ventilation equipment
Conveyor rollers and small drive assemblies
Light mechanical transmissions
General rotating machinery
Benefits
The SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 offers several practical advantages.
Double Contact Seals: Help retain lubricant and protect the rolling elements against contamination.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by interference fits and temperature differences.
Low Maintenance: Factory grease lubrication and integrated seals reduce routine lubrication requirements.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Compact Construction: Provides shaft support where a 10mm bore and small outside diameter are required.
Smooth Rotation: Its deep groove construction supports efficient rotation while the contact seals provide additional protection.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 10x26x8mm dimensions and C3 radial internal clearance match your equipment specifications.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Consider temperature, moisture exposure and contamination levels when selecting the bearing. Contact seals provide additional protection but introduce more friction than an open bearing.
If normal internal clearance is specified, the SKF 6000-2RSH may be more suitable. For machinery requiring direct external lubrication, consider an appropriate open SKF 6000 variant.
