SKF Deep Groove Ball Bearings
The deep groove ball bearing is the most widely used bearing in industry: it takes radial load and some axial load in both directions, runs at high speed and its simple design makes it the most economical of the ball bearings.
The designation starts with the series number —60, 62 or 63 depending on width and load capacity— followed by the coded bore diameter, and ends with suffixes that describe the sealing and internal clearance: 2RS or 2RSH indicates two contact rubber seals, ZZ or 2Z indicates two non-contact metal shields, and the absence of a suffix indicates an open bearing with no protection of its own. The C3 suffix (or another clearance number) indicates greater than normal internal clearance, used when the shaft will run hot.
It is fitted in electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, conveyor belts and in general any shaft that rotates at medium or high speed with moderate load. It is the most widely used bearing in an industrial warehouse, precisely because it covers most of the standard motors and gearboxes on the market.
The choice comes down to shaft diameter, the load it will carry and the environment: a motor exposed to dust or moisture calls for 2RS sealing; a shaft rotating at high speed with little contamination can use ZZ shielding, which generates less friction. Speed and working temperature also determine the factory grease, which in sealed bearings cannot be relubricated.
It is one of the most standardized designs in existence: the same inner, outer and width dimensions are manufactured with equivalent numeric series by SKF, NSK, FAG, NTN, Timken and the rest of the brands on the market. If your equipment carries another brand's designation, send us the part number: most of the time there is an equivalent.
If you have the number on the bearing cap or the shaft diameter, write to us on WhatsApp with the part number and we will confirm the available sealing and the equivalent. MR Accesorios Industriales has the complete SKF deep groove ball bearing series, from the 6000 range up to the largest diameters.
