SKF 6002-2RSLTN9/C3 VT162 - 15x32x9 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Applications & Industrial Uses

The SKF 6002-2RSLTN9/C3 VT162 deep-groove ball bearing (15x32x9 mm) is a versatile, compact bearing unit suitable for a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications. It is ideal for electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools, agricultural machinery, and general industrial equipment. Its reliable bearing housing design and standard dimensions make it a go-to option for OEMs, maintenance departments, and machine builders seeking a dependable bearing solution for both new installations and replacement parts.

Thanks to its moderate size, this bearing fits easily into compact housings and drives, enabling efficient use of space when installation area is limited. The sealed variant (“2RSL”) also protects internal components from dust and contaminants, ensuring stable performance even in demanding industrial environments.

Key Advantages & Performance Features

• High reliability and long service life: The deep-groove ball design offers smooth, low-friction rotation, uniform load distribution, and stable operation under continuous load cycles — attributes essential for industrial-grade bearings.

• Compact size and easy integration: With dimensions 15x32x9 mm and standardized bearing housing, this unit is easy to install even in constrained mechanical assemblies, reducing design limitations while delivering robust performance.

• Radial load capacity and moderate axial load handling: As a standard deep-groove ball bearing, it efficiently handles radial loads and also supports moderate axial forces — making it suitable for varied applications where both load types may occur.

• Sealed for protection against contaminants: The “2RSL” sealing on both sides shields internal components from dust, dirt, and moisture, reducing maintenance needs and extending bearing lifetime — particularly valuable in dusty or harsh environments.

• Versatile and cost-effective solution: Its proven design, universal compatibility with standard machinery, and broad application scope make it a preferred choice for industries seeking reliable, ready-to-use bearing units for production, repair or maintenance tasks.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this bearing suitable for electric motors and small machinery?
A: Yes — its compact dimensions (15x32x9 mm) and deep-groove design make it an excellent choice for electric motors, small gearboxes, pumps, fans, and other compact mechanical systems where stable rotation and compact bearing housing are required.

Q: What kind of loads can this bearing handle?
A: The bearing is optimized for radial loads and also supports moderate axial loads, making it suitable for many standard industrial applications. For heavy axial loads, different bearing types may be more appropriate.

Q: Does the “2RSL” sealing offer sufficient protection for dusty or dirty environments?
A: Yes — the double-sided sealing protects internal components from dust, dirt, and moisture, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance intervals in demanding or harsh working conditions.

Q: Can this bearing be used as a replacement in older machines?
A: Yes — thanks to its standard 15x32x9 mm size, it can often replace existing bearings in older machines, gearboxes, or motors, provided the shaft and housing match standard dimensions.

Q: What maintenance is required to ensure long bearing life?
A: Thanks to factory sealing and lubrication, maintenance requirements are minimal; still, periodic inspection for contamination and correct mounting alignment are recommended to preserve optimal performance over time.
