- Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, W 62 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 02Bore
- 15 mm bore: code 02 stands for 15 mm by standard.
- C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).

The SKF stainless steel deep groove ball bearing is a single row bearing with a stainless steel cage and stainless steel rings and balls, designed to operate in corrosive environments or with frequent washdowns. It is used in equipment where moisture, chemicals or intensive cleaning would shorten the life of a chrome steel bearing. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line.
The W series designation is read as follows: the letter W indicates that the bearing is made of stainless steel, both rings and balls. The number that follows, as in the example W 6202/C3, corresponds to the size and dimensional series (in this case, series 62, medium section). The suffix after the slash indicates the internal clearance: C3 is a radial clearance greater than normal, useful when there are tight fits or thermal differences between shaft and housing. You may find other suffix variants depending on the application, but it is always advisable to verify the complete part number.
These bearings are chosen in industries where corrosion is the main enemy: food and beverage plants, industrial washdown areas, chemical processing equipment, irrigation systems, boats and shipyards. Also in machines that are washed with pressure or steam, and in outdoor applications where ambient humidity quickly degrades a conventional bearing. In Argentina, they are commonly seen in packaging lines, sanitary pumps and conveyors operating in humid areas or with the presence of cleaning agents.
To select the correct bearing, take into account the type of contaminant: if there are corrosive liquids, stainless steel is the option; if there are also particles, it is advisable to evaluate seals or protective shields. The C3 internal clearance is recommended when the fit on the shaft or in the housing is tighter than normal, or when the operating temperature is high. During mounting, make sure to thoroughly clean the shaft and housing, and to lubricate with a grease compatible with stainless steel. Correct alignment prevents additional loads that shorten service life.
When looking for equivalents, stainless steel bearings from different brands may differ in the exact steel composition, the type of cage or the internal clearance. Not all stainless series are interchangeable between brands, even if they share main dimensions. Always verify the complete part number and the operating conditions before replacing one bearing with another. If you have doubts, the technical team at MR Accesorios Industriales can help you interpret the designation and choose the right variant.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF W 6202/C3 bearing?
- The SKF W 6202/C3 bearing has a 15 mm bore, a 35 mm outside diameter and a 11 mm width (15 x 35 x 11 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation W 6202.
- What does the C3 suffix mean on an SKF W 6202/C3 bearing?
- The C3 suffix indicates that the bearing has an internal radial clearance greater than normal. It is used when the fit on the shaft or housing is tighter than usual, or when there are temperature differences between the parts, to prevent the bearing from becoming preloaded.
- Is this bearing suitable for environments with high humidity?
- Yes, it is made of stainless steel, which gives it corrosion resistance. It is suitable for humid environments, frequent washdowns or exposure to chemicals. Even so, it is advisable to evaluate the lubrication and sealing according to the type of contaminant.
- Can I replace a stainless steel bearing from another brand with this SKF one?
- In general, if the main dimensions and the internal clearance match, it may be compatible. But there may be differences in the steel, the cage or the lubrication. Always verify the complete part number and check with us before making the change.
