SKF 6000-2RSH 10x26x8 mm - Deep Groove Ball Bearing

SKF 6000-2RSH 10x26x8 mm - Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing

SKF 6000-2RSH is a single row deep groove ball bearing from the SKF 6000 series, measuring 10x26x8 mm. It features two RSH contact seals, normal CN radial internal clearance, a pressed steel cage and factory grease lubrication. Its deep raceway grooves enable it to accommodate radial loads and axial loads in both directions. The commercial designation SKF 6000 2RS should be verified against the manufacturer's full designation.

Technical Specifications - SKF 6000-2RSH

These specifications refer to SKF 6000-2RSH. The commercial designation 6000 2RS does not uniquely identify the SKF sealing arrangement.

What Does SKF 6000-2RSH Mean?

6000 - Basic Bearing Designation

The designation 6000 identifies a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 10 mm bore diameter, 26 mm outside diameter and 8 mm width.

It belongs to the SKF 6000 series, which has a smaller cross-section than the 6200 and 6300 series with the same bore diameter.

2RSH - Two SKF Contact Seals

The suffix 2RSH indicates two RSH-type contact seals, one fitted on each side of the bearing.

These seals serve three main functions:

• Reduce the entry of contaminants into the bearing.

• Help retain grease between the inner and outer rings.

• Protect the raceways and rolling elements during operation.

The RSH sealing lips operate in contact with the mating ring surface, generating additional friction.

The 2RSH execution differs from the low-friction 2RSL design and the non-contact metal shields used in 2Z bearings.

CN - Normal Radial Internal Clearance

SKF 6000-2RSH has normal radial internal clearance, designated CN.

The absence of the /C3 suffix means that this is not the increased-clearance execution.

Radial internal clearance is important when selecting shaft and housing fits and evaluating temperature differences between bearing rings.

Alternative Designations and Search References

Common written variations include:

• SKF 6000-2RSH

• 6000-2RSH SKF

• SKF6000-2RSH

• SKF 6000 2RS

• 6000 2RS SKF

The last two are general commercial descriptions. Before ordering, confirm that the supplied bearing is specifically SKF 6000-2RSH.

The following designations identify different executions:

• SKF 6000-2RSL

• SKF 6000-2Z

• SKF 6000-2RSH/C3

They must not be treated as identical products.

Construction and Operating Principle

SKF 6000-2RSH consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, a single row of balls and a pressed steel cage that maintains the spacing between the rolling elements.

Its deep raceway grooves enable the bearing to accommodate radial loads and axial loads acting in both directions.

The bearing is factory lubricated with grease. Two RSH contact seals help retain the lubricant and reduce contamination of the bearing interior.

Unlike the open SKF 6000 bearing, the 6000-2RSH execution does not require an external grease supply under normal operating conditions.

However, contact seals do not make the bearing completely waterproof or suitable for unrestricted exposure to pressurized water, aggressive chemicals or extreme temperatures.

SKF 6000-2RSH Load Ratings and Operating Speed

Basic Dynamic Load Rating C - 4.75 kN

The basic dynamic load rating is used to calculate bearing fatigue life under dynamic loading conditions.

It is not a universal maximum permissible operating load.

Actual bearing life depends on equivalent dynamic load, lubrication, contamination and operating conditions.

Basic Static Load Rating C0 - 1.96 kN

The basic static load rating is used to assess the risk of permanent deformation at the rolling element and raceway contacts.

It is particularly relevant for stationary bearings, very low rotational speeds and high static loads.

Fatigue Load Limit Pu - 0.083 kN

The fatigue load limit is used in SKF bearing life calculation methods.

It must not be interpreted as the maximum permissible force acting on the bearing.

Limiting Speed - 19,000 rpm

SKF specifies a limiting speed of 19,000 rpm for the 6000-2RSH execution.

The actual permissible operating speed must also account for load, temperature, lubrication and the friction generated by the contact seals.

SKF 6000-2RSH vs Other SKF 6000 Variants

All these versions have the same basic dimensions of 10x26x8 mm, but they are not automatically interchangeable.

SKF 6000-2RSH vs SKF 6000-2RSL

Both bearings have seals on both sides, but their sealing arrangements differ.

SKF 6000-2RSH uses contact seals, while SKF 6000-2RSL uses low-friction seals.

The SKF catalogue specifies a limiting speed of 19,000 rpm for 6000-2RSH and 34,000 rpm for 6000-2RSL.

Selection depends on contamination protection requirements and rotational speed.

SKF 6000-2RSH vs SKF 6000-2Z

SKF 6000-2RSH has two contact seals, while SKF 6000-2Z incorporates two non-contact metal shields.

The 2Z design avoids the friction associated with contact sealing lips but provides different protection against contamination.

The two executions may therefore require different operating conditions.

SKF 6000-2RSH vs SKF 6000-2RSH/C3

Both versions have dimensions of 10x26x8 mm and two RSH contact seals.

The difference is radial internal clearance:

• SKF 6000-2RSH has normal CN clearance.

• SKF 6000-2RSH/C3 has increased C3 clearance.

The correct clearance must be selected according to bearing fits and operating temperatures. Increased clearance is not automatically preferable.

Bearing Selection and Interchangeability

Before ordering SKF 6000-2RSH, verify:

• Complete SKF designation.

• Bore diameter of 10 mm.

• Outside diameter of 26 mm.

• Bearing width of 8 mm.

• Required RSH contact seal design.

• Normal CN or increased C3 radial internal clearance.

• Operating speed.

• Radial and axial loads.

• Operating temperature.

• Shaft and housing fits.

• Exposure to dust, moisture and other contaminants.

• Lubrication requirements.

Identical dimensions do not guarantee complete technical interchangeability.

A bearing from another manufacturer with dimensions of 10x26x8 mm may have different seals, internal clearance, lubricant or operating characteristics.

Applications of SKF 6000-2RSH

SKF 6000-2RSH can be considered for compact rotating shaft arrangements requiring a 10 mm bore, contact seals on both sides and factory grease lubrication.

Its deep groove ball bearing construction supports radial loads and axial loads in both directions.

The sealed design is relevant where lubricant retention and protection against contamination are important.

Final selection must consider operating loads, rotational speed, temperature and environmental conditions.

Specific machinery models or OEM applications should not be attributed to this part number without supporting manufacturer documentation.

Installation and Operating Recommendations

Cleanliness

Clean the shaft, housing and mating surfaces before mounting.

Protect the RSH seals against mechanical damage and contamination.

Correct Mounting Force

When mounting the bearing onto a shaft, apply force to the inner ring.

When pressing the bearing into a housing, apply force to the outer ring.

Never transmit mounting force through the balls.

Shaft and Housing Fits

Select appropriate fits according to loading conditions, operating temperature and required internal clearance.

Excessive interference can reduce internal clearance and affect bearing operating temperature.

Lubrication

SKF 6000-2RSH is supplied with factory-applied grease.

The contact seals should not be routinely removed for grease replenishment.

Storage

Store the bearing in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment.

Protect it against moisture, corrosion and mechanical damage.
