SKF 6002 Deep groove ball bearing

Dimensions & Construction

• Bore diameter (d): 15 mm

• Outer diameter (D): 32 mm

• Width (B): 9 mm

• Bearing type: Single ‑ row deep ‑ groove ball bearing

• Typical configuration: open (i.e. no seals or shields , unless a suffix indicates otherwise)

• Cage: Steel (sheet ‑ metal) cage

• Radial internal clearance: standard / normal

Load Ratings & Performance

• Basic dynamic load rating (C): ~ 5.85 kN

• Basic static load rating (C₀): ~ 2.85 kN

• Approximate fatigue / endurance load limit (Pᵤ): ~ 0.12 kN

• Reference (rated) speed (grease lubrication): ~ 50,000 rpm

• Limiting (maximum) speed: ~ 32,000 rpm (depending on conditions)

• Approximate mass: ~ 0.03 kg (≈ 30 g)

Geometry / Additional Dimensions

• Minimum chamfer / fillet radius on inner/outer ring (r₁ , r₂ min): ~ 0.3 mm

• Minimum shaft ‑ shoulder diameter (da min): ~ 17 mm

• Maximum housing ‑ shoulder diameter (Da max): ~ 30 mm

Characteristics & Typical Use Cases

• As a deep‑groove bearing , 6002 supports primarily radial loads - but can also support limited axial loads in both directions when required.

• The “open” design (no seals/shields) gives minimal friction and allows high‑speed performance , but provides no built‑in protection against dust or contaminants - so it is best used in clean or protected environments , or where external seals/housing provide protection.

• Its size (15 × 32 × 9 mm) , decent load capacity , and high speed capability make it suitable for small to medium ‑ size shafts , small motors ,  small machinery , tools , appliances , and other mechanical devices where compactness and reliable performance are needed.
