SKF 2Z/C3LHT series deep groove ball bearings are components designed to withstand radial and axial loads in applications where protection against contaminants and high temperatures is required. Their construction includes two steel shields (2Z) that retain the lubricant and block particles, while the C3 internal clearance and the high-temperature lubricant (LHT) allow stable operation in demanding environments. They are ideal for electric motors, fans and industrial equipment operating under severe conditions.
The designation of these bearings is interpreted as follows: the base number (for example, 6003, 6205, 6302) indicates the size and dimension series. The suffix 2Z indicates that the bearing has two metal shields, one on each side. The designation C3 corresponds to a greater internal radial clearance than standard, which allows compensating for thermal expansion and reducing the risk of seizure. Finally, LHT23 or LHT55 identifies the type of high-temperature lubricant with which it comes pre-lubricated from the factory. Thus, a 6206-2Z/C3LHT23 is a bearing of the 62 series, with double shield, C3 clearance and high-temperature grease.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina. They are common in low and medium power electric motors, fans and exhausters, centrifugal pumps, compressors, conveyor belts and agricultural machinery. They are also found in refrigeration equipment and in transmission systems where operating temperatures exceed 100 °C. Their ability to withstand combined loads and their protection against dust and moisture make them suitable for environments with contaminants, as long as mounting and lubrication conditions are respected.
To correctly select a 2Z/C3LHT bearing, it is essential to consider the radial and axial load, the rotational speed and the working temperature. The C3 clearance is recommended when thermal differences between the inner and outer rings are expected, or when greater tolerance in mounting is required. The 2Z shields offer effective protection against solid particles, but they are not liquid-tight; if there is exposure to water or vapors, contact seals should be evaluated. The LHT lubrication is formulated for high temperatures, so relubrication is not necessary in most cases. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and avoid impacts that could damage the raceways.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF bearings of this series can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same international designation. However, it is important to verify that the LHT suffix corresponds to a lubricant with a similar temperature range and that the C3 clearance is maintained. Not all manufacturers offer exactly the same performance, so it is always advisable to consult the technical specifications before substituting. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry SKF as an official brand and can advise you on the best option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2Z suffix mean in an SKF bearing?
- The 2Z suffix indicates that the bearing has two metal shields, one on each side. These shields retain the lubricant and prevent the entry of large particles, but they are not liquid-tight.
- What is the C3 clearance for in these bearings?
- The C3 clearance is a greater internal radial clearance than standard. It is used to compensate for thermal expansion, reduce the risk of seizure and facilitate mounting in applications with high temperatures or interference fits.
- What is the difference between LHT23 and LHT55?
- LHT23 and LHT55 are designations of high-temperature lubricants. LHT23 usually has a temperature range up to approximately 150 °C, while LHT55 withstands higher temperatures, up to 200 °C. The choice depends on the operating temperature.
