Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6206-2RS2/C3S1GHE, Outer diameter: 62 mm | Width: 16 mm | Inner diameter: 30 mm

Ball bearings are essential mechanical components that reduce friction and support various loads in a wide range of industrial applications. Among them, deep groove ball bearings stand out for their versatility, ability to operate at high speeds, and low maintenance requirements.

This highly specialized SKF bearing is designed for specific industrial applications. Featuring thermostabilized rings and a special high-temperature grease, it operates flawlessly at temperatures up to 200 °C. It is a sealed bearing with FKM contact seals.

Features:
This SKF bearing, with a single row of balls and made of sheet steel, is equipped with fluoroelastomer (FKM) lip seals on both sides, providing excellent protection against dust and moisture. The increased internal radial clearance (C3) reduces internal friction and provides greater tolerance to thermal expansion. This high-temperature tolerance is further enhanced by the heat-stabilization of the rings, which prevents them from expanding excessively—a condition that could cause friction. This bearing is pre-lubricated with a special Krytox GPL 225 grease, suitable for high temperatures, which contributes to its long service life and its ability to operate reliably under extreme conditions.

Maintenance:
Little maintenance is required thanks to its comprehensive sealing and specialized lubrication. It is recommended to periodically check the temperature and vibrations to detect any malfunctions early on. Lubrication with Krytox GPL 225 grease allows for extended use without relubrication, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance. This grease has anti-corrosive properties, increasing the bearing’s service life. However, regular cleaning of the bearing’s surroundings (external surfaces, shaft, seals, etc.) is recommended to prevent the accumulation of dust and other contaminants.

Sealing:
This SKF bearing is equipped with FKM (Viton) lip seals on both sides, providing optimal protection against dust and water. These seals create an effective barrier that prevents contaminants from entering and keeps the lubricant inside the bearing. This sealing extends the product’s service life by ensuring reliable performance even in dusty or humid environments. The quality of the seals also provides excellent resistance to oils and greases. FKM was chosen in this case due to its very good resistance to high temperatures (up to 250 °C).

Brand Information:

SKF offers a wide range of solutions tailored to the needs of the most demanding industries, with a focus on sustainability and quality.

Key Features:
- Ability to withstand high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- Thermally stabilized rings up to 200 °C.
- FKM lip seals providing effective protection against contamination.
- Special high-temperature Krytox GPL 225 grease, corrosion-resistant and NSF H1-approved.
- C3 internal radial clearance for better tolerance to thermal expansion and reduced friction.
- Excellent corrosion protection thanks to sealed contact seals and grease.

Applications:
This SKF ball bearing is particularly well-suited for applications where heat and thermal expansion are critical factors. It is ideal for electric motors (TLA alternators), pumps, fans, machine tools, shredders, grinders, and extruders (rubber industry), dryers, rolling mills, and the steel industry. Its robust design and improved sealing allow for optimal use in dusty or humid environments, ensuring a long service life and trouble-free operation.
