SKF 6300-2RSH Sealed Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6300-2RSH is a 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 offering the added protection of integral contact seals.
Unlike the open SKF 6300, this version is supplied with grease and sealed on both sides, reducing the need for routine lubrication.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6300-2RSH features 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. With dimensions of 10x35x11mm, the bearing offers a robust cross section for machinery designed around the standard 6300 bearing size.
2RSH Contact Seals and Internal Clearance
The 2RSH designation indicates synthetic rubber contact seals on both sides of the bearing. These seals help retain lubricant and restrict the entry of dust, moisture and other contaminants during operation.
The bearing is greased for life under suitable operating conditions and is not designed for routine relubrication. Its normal radial internal clearance makes it appropriate for assemblies where standard clearance is specified.
Applications
The SKF 6300-2RSH can be considered for rotating equipment where its dimensions, sealed construction and operating characteristics match the machinery requirements.
Small electric motors
Industrial fans and ventilation equipment
Compact pumps
Conveyor rollers and drive assemblies
Agricultural machinery
General mechanical equipment
Benefits
The SKF 6300-2RSH offers several practical advantages.
Double Contact Seals: Help protect the rolling elements against contamination while retaining lubricant.
Low Maintenance: Factory applied grease and integrated seals reduce routine lubrication requirements.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
Smooth Rotation: Its deep groove construction supports efficient rotation with relatively low friction.
Compact Construction: Provides effective shaft support for equipment requiring a 10mm bore and 35mm outside diameter.
Normal Internal Clearance: Provides the standard clearance arrangement for applications where normal clearance is specified.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 10x35x11mm dimensions and normal radial internal clearance match your equipment requirements.
Check operating loads and speeds alongside shaft and housing fits. Consider temperature, moisture exposure and contamination levels. Contact seals provide additional protection but also introduce some seal friction.
If increased internal clearance is required, the SKF 6300-2RSH/C3 may be more suitable. For machinery with a dedicated lubrication system, the open SKF 6300 may be preferable.
