SKF Explorer 6000-2Z Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Description

The SKF 6000-2Z is a high-performance single row deep groove ball bearing from the SKF Explorer class. It is designed for high running accuracy at high speeds and can accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions. The '2Z' designation signifies that it is equipped with non-contact metal shields on both sides, which protect against contamination and retain lubricant without increasing friction. This bearing is pre-lubricated for life and is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.

FAQ

The '2Z' suffix indicates that the bearing is equipped with a pressed sheet steel shield on both sides. These shields protect the bearing's interior from larger contaminant particles and help retain the factory-filled grease, without making contact with the inner ring, which allows for high-speed operation.

Yes, SKF Explorer bearings are a performance class that has undergone manufacturing process improvements. This results in cleaner steel, superior heat treatment, and an optimized internal geometry. These enhancements lead to higher dynamic load ratings, reduced friction and heat, and a considerably longer service life compared to standard SKF bearings.

SKF 6000-2Z bearings are pre-filled with a high-quality grease, typically a polyurea-based grease suitable for a wide range of temperatures and speeds. Due to the non-contact metal shields (2Z), these bearings are considered 'lubricated for life' and are not designed for easy relubrication in the field. Attempting to remove the shields can damage them and compromise the bearing's integrity.
