Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6003-2RSL/C3, Outer diameter: 35 mm | Width: 10 mm | Inner diameter: 17 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, their ability to operate at high speeds, and their low maintenance requirements.

This SKF brand deep groove ball bearing is designed to provide a reliable and easy-to-install solution for handling radial and axial loads in both directions. Featuring low-friction seals on both sides and a C3 radial clearance, this bearing is ideal for high-speed applications and environments where protection against dust and moisture is essential. Its sealed design minimizes maintenance requirements, thereby improving the product’s service life and overall performance.

Features:
This SKF single-row deep groove ball bearing features a sheet steel cage that ensures good resistance to constant radial loads as well as occasional shock loads. Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) lip seals on both sides of the bearing provide excellent protection against both solid and liquid contaminants, while keeping the lubricant inside. Thanks to the low-friction seals and increased internal radial clearance (C3), internal friction is reduced, allowing this bearing to operate at high rotational speeds.

Maintenance:
This SKF deep groove ball bearing requires minimal maintenance thanks to its sealed design, which effectively retains the lubricant and prevents the ingress of particles. In addition, low friction helps minimize bearing wear, thereby extending its service life. However, it is recommended to periodically check the operating temperature and vibration levels to detect any potential abnormalities early on. These regular inspections help optimize the bearing’s service life and ensure smooth operation, particularly in high-speed environments where thermal conditions may vary.

Sealing:
This bearing is equipped with nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) lip seals on each side, providing excellent protection against external contaminants such as dust, water, and other impurities. The NBR seals are also resistant to oils and greases, which improves the bearing’s overall performance in humid environments or those exposed to chemicals.

Key Features:
- Optimal protection against contaminants thanks to NBR lip seals on both sides;
- Ability to withstand high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions;
- Increased internal radial clearance (C3) allowing for high rotational speeds with reduced friction;
- Quiet operation thanks to good vibration absorption and reduced internal stresses.

Applications:
This SKF deep groove ball bearing is particularly well-suited for industrial applications where high rotational speeds and reliable protection against contaminants are required. It is commonly used in electric motors, fans, pumps, and high-speed machine tools. It is also suitable for household appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, as well as certain automotive applications, such as transmissions and wheel hubs. Thanks to its ability to accommodate thermal expansion, this bearing delivers reliable performance even in environments where temperature fluctuations are critical.
