6000 ZZ C3 MGK 10x26x8 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

What Is the 6000 ZZ C3 MGK Bearing?

The 6000 ZZ C3 MGK is a single-row deep groove ball bearing with dimensions 10x26x8 mm. It features double metal shields (ZZ) that protect the rolling elements from dust and contamination while retaining factory grease. The C3 internal clearance is greater than standard, making the bearing suitable for applications with elevated operating temperatures, higher rotational speeds or shaft interference fits. It is widely used in electric motors, pumps, fans, power tools and industrial equipment.

Bearing Design

The 6000 ZZ C3 MGK features:

• Single-row deep groove ball bearing
• Double metal shields (ZZ)
• C3 internal radial clearance
• Hardened steel balls
• Pressed steel cage
• Cylindrical bore
• Factory-greased construction

The metal shields provide effective protection against dust while maintaining low friction and allowing high-speed operation.

How Does a Deep Groove Ball Bearing Work?

A deep groove ball bearing uses hardened steel balls running between precision-machined raceways to minimize friction and support rotating shafts.

Its primary functions include:

• Supporting radial loads
• Carrying moderate axial loads in both directions
• Reducing rotational friction
• Providing smooth and quiet operation
• Improving equipment efficiency
• Extending machine service life

The C3 internal clearance allows additional space between the rolling elements and raceways, helping compensate for thermal expansion during operation.

Typical Applications

The 6000 ZZ C3 MGK is commonly used in:

• Electric motors
• Water pumps
• Industrial fans
• Gearboxes
• Power tools
• Agricultural machinery
• Small industrial machines
• Conveyor systems
• Household appliances
• Industrial automation
• OEM equipment
• Maintenance and Repair (MRO)

Advantages of the 6000 ZZ C3 MGK Bearing

Key benefits include:

• High-speed capability
• Low operating friction
• Double metal shields for contamination protection
• Factory-applied grease
• Increased C3 internal clearance
• Reliable radial and axial load support

Installation Recommendations

Before installation, verify:

• Shaft diameter
• Housing bore
• Proper bearing fit
• Shaft alignment
• Operating temperature
• Working conditions

Avoid applying mounting force through the rolling elements to prevent bearing damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the dimensions of the 6000 ZZ C3 MGK bearing?

The bearing has a 10 mm bore, 26 mm outside diameter, and 8 mm width.

What does ZZ mean?

ZZ indicates double metal shields, which protect the bearing against dust while retaining the factory-applied grease.

What does C3 internal clearance mean?

C3 indicates greater-than-normal internal radial clearance, making the bearing suitable for applications involving higher temperatures, higher speeds or interference fits.

Is the bearing pre-lubricated?

Yes. The 6000 ZZ C3 MGK is supplied factory-greased and is ready for installation.

Where is the 6000 ZZ C3 MGK commonly used?

It is widely used in electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, power tools, industrial machinery and OEM applications.

What loads can this bearing support?

It is designed to support radial loads together with moderate axial loads acting in both directions.
