How to read SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 06Bore
- 30 mm bore: 06 × 5.
- 2Z/C3WTSuffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
6206 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

SKF deep groove ball bearings with 2Z/C3WT suffixes are precision components designed to withstand moderate radial and axial loads. They incorporate two metal shields (2Z) that retain lubricant and block contaminants, together with C3WT internal clearance that makes them suitable for applications with elevated temperatures. They are used in electric motors, fans, pumps and transmissions, where reliability and low friction are key.
The designation of these bearings combines several suffixes that define their characteristics. For example, in 6001-2Z/C3WT, the number 6001 indicates the size and series (in this case, series 60, extra light section). The 2Z suffix indicates that the bearing has two metal shields, one on each side. The slash separates the C3WT suffix, which indicates greater than normal internal radial clearance (C3) and high-temperature grease lubrication (WT). This combination is common in applications where thermal expansion or high speeds are expected.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina. They are common in low and medium power electric motors, fans and extractors, centrifugal pumps, small compressors, machine tools and transmission equipment. Their shielded design makes them suitable for environments with dust or moderate humidity, such as food plants, mechanical workshops and ventilation systems. Series 62, for example, offers a medium section that balances load capacity and speed.
To correctly select a 2Z/C3WT bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must withstand, the rotation speed and the operating temperature. C3 clearance is recommended when the fit on the shaft or in the housing is interference or when there are thermal gradients. 2Z shields are not watertight, so in very humid environments or with liquids it is advisable to evaluate contact seals (2RS). During mounting, ensure precise alignment and avoid blows that could damage the raceways. WT lubrication is already applied at the factory and does not require additional maintenance in most cases.
As for equivalences, deep groove ball bearings are manufactured under international standards that guarantee interchangeable dimensions between different brands. An SKF bearing of this type can be replaced by an equivalent part number from another brand that respects the same dimensions and suffixes. However, lubrication and clearance conditions may vary by manufacturer, so it is always advisable to verify the data sheet. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell SKF and can advise you on the best option for your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT bearing?
- The SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT bearing has a 30 mm bore, a 62 mm outside diameter and a 16 mm width (30 x 62 x 16 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 6206.
- What does the C3WT suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- C3 indicates greater than normal internal radial clearance, suitable for applications with high temperatures or interference fits. WT refers to high-temperature grease lubrication. Together, these suffixes define a bearing prepared for demanding conditions.
- Can I replace a 2Z bearing with a 2RS one?
- Yes, but keep in mind that 2RS has contact seals that offer better sealing against liquids and dust, although they generate more friction and limit speed. If the environment is very humid or has particles, 2RS may be more suitable.
- How do I know which bearing part number I need for my machine?
- Identify the part number engraved on the original bearing or check the equipment manual. If you cannot find it, send us a photo and the shaft and housing measurements on WhatsApp. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you select the right replacement.
