SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 Deep groove ball bearing

Basic Dimensions & Construction

Bore diameter (d): 10 mm

Outer diameter (D): 26 mm

Width (B): 8 mm

Cage type: Steel (sheet-metal) cage.

Sealing: Sealed on both sides with rubber contact seals (2RSH = double-sided contacting seal)

Internal radial clearance: C3 (greater than normal clearance)

Material: Bearing steel for races & balls; steel cage.

Lubrication: Pre-greased (sealed bearing, no external relubrication slot) — typical for 2RSH sealed bearings.

Load Ratings & Performance

Basic dynamic load rating (C): ~ 4.75 kN

Basic static load rating (C₀): ~ 1.96 kN

Fatigue load limit (approx. contact fatigue) / static equivalence: ~ 0.083 kN (as some suppliers list)

Limiting (maximum) rotational speed: 19,000 rpm

Precision / tolerance class: Typically “standard” for this type; with C3 radial clearance for extra internal play.

Key Characteristics & Design Notes

The “6000” series refers to a light / small-bore bearing — compact size (10 × 26 × 8 mm) makes it suitable for small motors, small machinery, tools, etc.

The double-sided rubber seals (2RSH) provide good protection against dust, dirt, and contaminants — helping to keep grease inside, and minimizing maintenance.

The C3 internal clearance provides more room for thermal expansion than a “normal” clearance bearing. This can be useful in applications where temperature variations are expected, or where shafts might slightly expand under load/heat.

As a deep-groove single-row ball bearing, it can handle radial loads primarily — and also limited axial loads in both directions.
