Description
SKF 6236 M/C3 is a deep groove ball bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for 6236 M/C3 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF 60 series deep groove ball bearing is a thin-section component with high radial load capacity, designed to withstand combined loads in applications where axial space is limited. Its single row of balls and machined brass cage construction provide smooth operation and a long service life. It is ideal for electric motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes operating at moderate and high speeds.
The designation of these bearings is read from left to right: the first two digits indicate the dimension series, in this case series 60 thin section. The next two digits correspond to the bore diameter code; for example, in 6014 the suffix 14 indicates a 70 mm bore. The suffixes M/C3 and M/C4 indicate a machined brass cage and greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, suitable for interference fits or elevated temperatures.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina: low- and medium-power electric motors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, screw compressors, machine tools and speed reducers. Their ability to support moderate radial and axial loads makes them versatile for belt or gear drives, where precise, low-maintenance support is required.
To select the right bearing, take into account radial and axial load, rotation speed and environmental conditions. C3 or C4 internal clearance is recommended when the shaft fit is an interference fit or when the operating temperature exceeds 100 °C. Mounting must be done with suitable tools, avoiding direct blows on the balls. Lubrication can be with grease or oil, and maintaining alignment between shaft and housing is essential to avoid additional loads.
As for equivalents, SKF 60 series deep groove ball bearings can be interchanged with products from other brands that follow the same ISO designation, such as FAG, NSK or NTN, provided that tolerances and internal clearance are respected. It is important to verify the cage suffix and clearance, since not all brands offer the same options. For replacements, always compare the main dimensions and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the M/C3 suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- M indicates a machined brass cage, which better withstands vibrations and high temperatures. C3 indicates greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, recommended for interference fits or thermal differences between shaft and housing.
- How do I choose between a bearing with C3 clearance and one with C4 clearance?
- C4 clearance is even greater than C3 and is used in applications with higher temperatures or tighter fits. If you do not have extreme conditions, C3 is usually sufficient. Contact us with your equipment data.
- Can I replace an SKF 60 series bearing with another brand?
- Yes, as long as the ISO designation matches in dimensions and clearance. Brands such as FAG, NSK or NTN offer equivalents. Check the cage type and internal clearance to ensure interchangeability.
