Chrome-steel bearing sourcing for equipment OEMs and maintenance buyers.

6000 series single-row deep groove ball bearings support rotating shafts in motors, industrial equipment and office machinery. Select by bore, outside diameter, width, sealing and operating conditions.

Which application are you specifying?

• Electric or rotary motor: provide shaft speed, load, fit, temperature and noise requirements.
• Industrial and office equipment: identify the shaft, housing and contamination conditions.
• Replacement bearing: send the full marking and dimensions. The basic number alone does not identify seals, clearance or grease.

Existing 6000 series model references

Dimensions below are bore × outside diameter × width in mm. Listed closures come from our existing product catalogue; availability and the complete specification are confirmed with your quotation.

The listed 6000–6014 references span 10–70 mm bore, 26–110 mm outside diameter and 8–20 mm width. This is a model list, not an assurance that every dimension combination is available.

Material, structure and seals

The 6000-2RS reference specifies chrome steel, 52100 / 100Cr6 bearing steel, and single-row deep groove construction with inner ring, outer ring, balls and cage. It lists P0 and P6 precision options; the required option must be confirmed for your order.

• ZZ / 2Z: two metal shields. Confirm dust exposure and lubrication requirements.
• 2RS: rubber seals on both sides. Confirm seal contact, friction, grease and contamination conditions.
• Open: listed as an option on the 6000 reference; request model-specific confirmation and review the surrounding lubrication and sealing arrangement.

Clearance, installation and operating limits

Some catalogue references specify C3 clearance. Do not assume C3 is standard across the range: send the required clearance together with shaft/housing fits and temperature conditions.

Confirm bore fit, housing fit, axial retention, shoulder dimensions and assembly method using your drawing. Load ratings, maximum speed, grease life and temperature limits require the exact bearing variant and operating conditions; no general rating is assigned here.

Customization and procurement review

Request a review of seal/shield type, clearance, precision, lubrication, packaging and any drawing-based variation. A non-standard modification or sample requires feasibility and availability confirmation. Provide your required quantity and delivery schedule for the quotation.

What to send for a quotation

• Full model and suffix, or bore × OD × width plus drawing
• Application, radial/axial load, speed and duty cycle
• Seal/shield type, clearance, precision and grease requirements
• Temperature, dust, water or cleaning exposure
• Sample quantity, production quantity and target delivery date

Example RFQ: 6000-2RS, 10 × 26 × 8 mm, motor application; include your required clearance, operating speed, load and quantity.

Selection questions

Can ZZ and 2RS be substituted? Review sealing, friction, speed and lubrication before changing the variant.

Do matching dimensions guarantee a replacement? Also compare clearance, precision, closures and operating requirements.
