SKF W 6003 2RS1 stainless steel ball bearing 17x35x10

Application in humid and corrosive environments

SKF W 6003 2RS1 is a single row stainless steel ball bearing with dimensions 17x35x10 mm, designed for operation in humid, corrosive or washdown environments. This model strengthens the SKF ball bearing category as a dedicated solution for applications where resistance to corrosion is essential.

The 17x35x10 mm ball bearing is commonly used in food processing machinery, packaging lines, washing equipment, light conveyors and auxiliary industrial drives. Compared to a standard carbon steel ball bearing, the stainless steel version offers improved resistance to moisture and chemical exposure while maintaining reliable rotational performance.

Thanks to the compact design, it can operate as a standalone component or as part of a larger bearing unit installed in a machine housing or bearing housing assembly.

Design, material and sealing system

The W designation indicates that the bearing rings and rolling elements are manufactured from stainless steel, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in aggressive environments. The 2RS1 suffix refers to double sided rubber seals that protect the internal raceways and balls from contamination and prevent grease leakage.

Precision ground raceways ensure smooth running, low vibration and consistent load distribution. The sealed construction supports extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements, especially in applications exposed to water or cleaning processes.
