SKF deep groove ball bearings with snap ring groove are single row bearings that incorporate a machined groove in the outer ring. That groove allows the bearing to be fixed axially in the housing by means of a snap ring, without the need for covers or shoulders. They are used in equipment where the aim is to simplify housing machining and facilitate mounting. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice to select the correct variant.

The designation of these bearings combines the series number with the suffix N. In the examples, 6006 N, 6205 N or 6308 N, the number identifies the dimensional series: 60 is the extra-light series, 62 the medium section and 63 the most robust. The suffix N indicates that the outer ring has a groove for a snap ring. Do not confuse that suffix with a loose letter: it always accompanies the series number and defines a specific constructional feature.

These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, gearboxes and conveyors. In Argentine industry they are found in packaging lines, refrigeration equipment, machine tools and transmissions in food plants. The snap ring groove simplifies housing design: instead of a machined shoulder, a snap ring is used that locks the outer ring and absorbs moderate axial forces.

To select well, take into account internal clearance, sealing type and lubrication. If the equipment works with dust or humidity, it is advisable to evaluate variants with seals or shields. Alignment between shaft and housing is key: excessive misalignment shortens bearing life. When mounting, verify that the snap ring seats correctly in the groove and that the outer ring is free to expand.

Interchangeability between brands is handled by designation system: a series 62 bearing with groove from one brand can be interchanged with the equivalent from another if dimensions, clearance and execution match. The series number alone is not enough: tolerances, cage type and lubricant must be compared. If in doubt, send us the complete code and the housing dimensions.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we work with SKF bearings and other transmission lines. If you need to replace a bearing with groove, send us the code engraved on the ring, the equipment brand and a photo of the mounting. With that data we will quote the right variant by WhatsApp and advise you on the compatible snap ring.
