Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6413/C3, Outer diameter: 160 mm | Width: 37 mm | Inner diameter: 65 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 single-row deep groove ball bearing from SKF is designed to deliver reliable performance in high-speed industrial applications. Thanks to its C3 internal radial clearance, it provides better management of thermal expansion, thereby reducing friction and heat generation. This open, seal-less bearing is ideal for environments where rapid heat dissipation is essential, while offering excellent rotational capability.

Features:
This bearing is manufactured with a sheet steel cage that allows it to withstand heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Its increased radial clearance (C3) helps dissipate heat and better accommodates thermal expansion, which is crucial under high-speed operating conditions. Furthermore, its open design reduces friction, ensuring quiet operation. The absence of seals allows for easy access and simplified maintenance, although it makes the bearing more vulnerable to contaminants.

Maintenance:
Since this bearing is open and therefore lacks seals, it is important to ensure that lubrication is maintained and checked periodically. Furthermore, the absence of seals makes this bearing more vulnerable to contaminants. However, thanks to its open design and C3 radial clearance, this bearing offers greater thermal tolerance and reduced friction, which allows for slightly longer intervals between maintenance operations.

Sealing:
This bearing is of the open type, meaning it has no seals, which can lead to the ingress of contaminants and lubricant leakage. It is therefore recommended for use in systems where the environment is clean and controlled.
