SKF 6002/C3 Open Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The SKF 6002/C3 is an open single row deep groove ball bearing designed to provide smooth rotation and efficient shaft support. It accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions while maintaining low friction. Its increased internal clearance makes it suitable for compact rotating equipment where C3 clearance is required.
Design and Construction
The SKF 6002/C3 features deep raceway grooves and a single row of steel balls guided by a sheet metal cage. Its bearing steel construction provides strength and supports effective load distribution under suitable operating conditions.
With dimensions of 15x32x9mm, the bearing offers a compact solution for assemblies requiring the standard 6002 bearing size.
C3 Internal Clearance and Open Design
The bearing features C3 radial internal clearance, providing greater clearance than a bearing with normal internal 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 the bearing against contamination and prevent lubricant loss.
Applications
The SKF 6002/C3 can be considered for rotating machinery where its dimensions and increased internal clearance meet the operating requirements.
Small electric motors
Industrial fans and ventilation equipment
Compact pumps
Mechanical drive assemblies
Light industrial machinery
General rotating equipment
Benefits
The SKF 6002/C3 offers several practical advantages.
Low Friction: Supports smooth rotation while helping reduce mechanical energy losses.
C3 Internal Clearance: Helps accommodate reductions in operating clearance caused by shaft fits and temperature differences.
Combined Load Support: Accommodates radial loads and axial loads in both directions.
High Speed Capability: Its deep groove construction supports efficient operation at relatively high rotational speeds.
Flexible Lubrication: Open construction allows direct grease or oil lubrication.
Compact Construction: Provides effective shaft support within the standard 6002 bearing dimensions.
Bearing Selection
Before purchasing, confirm that the 15x32x9mm dimensions and C3 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 normal internal clearance or integrated sealing is required, a different SKF 6002 variant may be more suitable.
