Deep groove ball bearing SKF 6010-2RS2/C4GJN, Outer diameter: 80 mm | Width: 16 mm | Inner diameter: 50 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 single-row ball bearing is known for its ease of installation and its sealed design, which provides reliable protection against contaminants thanks to its two fluorinated rubber seals. It is capable of withstanding radial and axial loads in both directions. Its C4 internal radial clearance allows for better management of thermal expansion, thereby facilitating operation at high speeds.

Features:
This SKF single-row deep groove ball bearing features a sheet steel cage, providing excellent resistance to radial and axial loads. It is equipped with fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) friction seals with steel sheet metal reinforcement on both sides of the bearing, ensuring effective sealing against dust, water, and chemical contaminants. These seals thus provide enhanced protection and also effectively retain the lubricant, which is integrated into the bearing during manufacturing. This special grease with a polyurea thickener, classified as NLGI Grade 2, enables optimal operation within a temperature range of -30 to +150 °C and also helps reduce noise emissions. The C4 internal radial clearance, meanwhile, provides better tolerance to thermal deformation and ensures smooth rotation even at high speeds.

Maintenance:
This deep-groove ball bearing is designed for minimal maintenance thanks to its sealed rubber seals, which effectively retain the lubricant inside while preventing the ingress of contaminants. However, it is recommended to regularly monitor operating conditions, such as temperature and vibration, in order to detect any anomalies early and prevent premature bearing failure.

Sealing:
This bearing is equipped with double-lip fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) contact seals, ensuring an effective barrier against dust, water, and contaminants. These seals combine synthetic rubber and elastomer, offering excellent resistance to oils, greases, hydrocarbons, and diluted acids, as well as to high temperatures up to 200 °C. This design keeps the lubricant inside the bearing, thereby preventing the intrusion of unwanted particles. In addition, FKM seals are distinguished by their chemical compatibility, resistance to temperature fluctuations, low compression set (CS), and high durability. This combination of features ensures optimal protection, extending the bearing’s service life and guaranteeing smooth operation, even in harsh industrial environments exposed to dust or moisture.
