Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6213-2Z/VA208, Outer diameter: 120 mm | Width: 23 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 SKF rigid ball bearing is designed to meet the demands of industrial applications operating under harsh conditions. Specially engineered to operate at high temperatures, it ensures long-term reliability while minimizing maintenance requirements.

Features:
This SKF single-row deep groove ball bearing is specially manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 350 °C. Thanks to its enlarged internal radial clearance (a multiple of C5), it accommodates thermal expansion without compromising its performance. It can also handle axial loads in addition to radial loads. This bearing is permanently lubricated with a graphite-based lubricant compatible with very high-temperature operation. It is also fully manganese-phosphated, as are its flanges, to improve the lubricant’s adhesion to the metal and its running-in properties. Deflectors on each side prevent the intrusion of contaminants while minimizing friction.

Maintenance:
The graphite-based lubricant applied during manufacturing remains effective throughout the bearing’s service life and withstands high temperatures. In addition, the metal shields on each side provide effective protection against solid contaminants without coming into direct contact with the rotating parts. This design therefore does not generate additional friction or wear and preserves the bearing’s performance over time. Users thus benefit from simplified maintenance.

Sealing:
This bearing is equipped with metal shields on both sides, providing effective sealing against solid contaminants to preserve the bearing’s performance and durability. By isolating the internal components, these shields protect the mechanism from the intrusion of unwanted particles, ensuring optimal operation even in dusty environments or those exposed to debris.

Brand Information:
For over 100 years, SKF has stood out as a pioneer in the bearing and lubrication systems industry. This Swedish group is renowned for its cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, and ability to optimize the performance of rotating equipment. Active in numerous industrial sectors, SKF helps its customers increase reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and maximize the efficiency of their machines, whether in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, energy, or many other industries.
