SKF Deep Groove Ball Bearing, Sealed, Sheet Metal Cage, 80 mm ID x 140 mm OD x 26 mm, C3 Clearance, 1 Row 6216-2RS1/C3

The SKF 6216-2RS1/C3 is a single-row deep groove ball bearing engineered for industrial rotary support, featuring a sealed design and robust sheet metal cage. With a cylindrical bore and a generous C3 internal clearance, this bearing withstands thermal expansion and shaft misalignment, assuring smooth operation even in varying temperatures. Its sealed ends effectively block contaminants, prolonging service life and minimizing the need for re-lubrication.

This bearing measures 80 mm in inner diameter, 140 mm in outer diameter, and 26 mm in race width. The sheet metal cage not only retains the rolling elements efficiently but also reduces friction losses for reliable performance. The C3 clearance facilitates durability where thermal growth or loosely fitted shafts are expected, making it ideal for moderate-speed equipment up to 3000 rpm.

Applications include electric motor shafts, gearbox input shafts, conveyor rollers, pump and fan assemblies, and precision industrial machinery setups. Static and dynamic load ratings are 55 kN and 72.8 kN respectively, ensuring dependable radial support and endurance in demanding environments. Maintenance is simplified due to the sealed ends; periodic external checks for seal integrity and monitoring temperature or vibration suffice.

Integration is straightforward with the cylindrical bore, requiring careful shaft preparation to meet tolerance standards for interference or transitional fits. Whether used in automation lines, electronics manufacturing, or lab equipment, the SKF 6216-2RS1/C3 provides consistent radial load handling and moderate-speed rotation with superior contamination resistance.

Industrial sectors benefitting from this bearing include manufacturing, automation, power transmission, HVAC, water treatment, and commercial equipment. Explore more SKF ball bearings and rotary bearing solutions in the Ball Bearing category for tailored applications.
