SKF 6310 M C3 VL0241 50x110x27 mm Ball Bearing

Technical Specification & Key Features

High-Capacity Deep Groove Ball Bearing for Industrial Shafts

The SKF 6310 M C3 VL0241 is a robust deep groove ball bearing with inner diameter 50 mm, outer diameter 110 mm and width 27 mm. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it features increased radial internal clearance (C3) to compensate for thermal expansion, slight shaft misalignment or dimensional fluctuations — ensuring reliable rotation and extended service life under variable load conditions. The sturdy construction and hardened steel balls/rings deliver stable performance even under heavy radial loads.

Benefits & Typical Industrial Applications

Durability, Load Capacity, and Broad Usage

• High radial load capacity — engineered to carry substantial radial forces typically encountered in electric motors, gearboxes, drive shafts, pumps, and conveyors.

• Thermal tolerance and stability — C3 clearance gives extra internal space to manage expansion and reduce stress under temperature changes or high-speed operation, enhancing bearing lifespan.

• Smooth, low-friction rotation — precision manufacturing and deep groove geometry minimize friction and noise, ensuring stable shaft rotation and reduced wear.

• Versatility in industrial contexts — suitable for heavy machinery, manufacturing equipment, industrial drives, fans, compressors, rollers, and mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable bearing solution.

• Easy integration and ready-to-use unit — standard sizing allows straightforward mounting in bearing housings or shafts, simplifying maintenance, replacement, or new installations.

Detailed Product Description

The SKF 6310 M C3 50x110x27 mm ball bearing is a premium-quality bearing designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring durability, load capacity, and stable operation. Its deep groove ball bearing design efficiently distributes radial loads across multiple hardened steel balls and rings, ensuring smooth and reliable shaft rotation under heavy or fluctuating loads.

The increased radial internal clearance (C3) provides essential tolerance for thermal expansion and slight shaft misalignment — a crucial feature in environments where temperature changes or mechanical stress may affect alignment. This results in reduced risk of shaft binding, lower friction, and extended bearing life, even under intensive use.

Thanks to its robust design and materials, the bearing exhibits excellent resistance to wear and mechanical stress, making it suitable for high-load applications such as industrial gearboxes, electric motors, drive shafts, pumps, compressors, conveyors and other mechanical assemblies. Its smooth operation, minimal noise, and low maintenance requirements make it an optimal choice for industrial customers prioritizing reliability and uptime.

Because SKF 6310 M C3 adheres to standard dimensions (50x110x27 mm), it integrates seamlessly into existing assemblies — no special adapters needed. This ease of installation and compatibility reduces downtime during maintenance or replacement, which is particularly valuable in B2B operations where efficiency and reliability are paramount.

In summary, SKF 6310 M C3 VL0241 is a heavy-duty, versatile ball bearing — combining high load capacity, thermal resilience, smooth rotation, and simplicity of use. It’s a dependable solution for demanding industrial environments where quality, durability, and performance matter.
