SKF 6003 2RS C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing - 17 x 35 x 10 mm (Double Sealed)

SKF 6003 2RS C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing - 17 x 35 x 10 mm (Double Sealed)

Applications & Industrial Integration

The SKF 6003 2RS C3 is designed as a sealed deep groove ball bearing with dimensions 17 mm (bore) x 35 mm (outer diameter) x 10 mm (width). This unit is ideally suited for demanding industrial applications, offering long service life and reduced maintenance in bearing housings and assembly units. Equipped with dual rubber contact seals (2RS) and increased internal clearance class C3, it is perfectly matched for use in motors, pumps, gearboxes, fan assemblies, conveyor drives, and automation lines — wherever a robust bearing unit with high durability is required.

Key Advantages

• Sealed 2RS design: The dual side rubber contact seals ensure effective protection against dust, moisture and contamination while retaining internal lubricant for extended life.

• Deep groove ball construction: The single-row geometry supports primarily radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of machines.

• Internal clearance class C3: The increased radial clearance enhances performance under higher temperatures, faster shaft speeds or bearing housings with thermal expansion.

• Standard size 17x35x10 mm: This widely used metric size enables smooth integration into typical bearing housings and bearing units without redesign, ensuring ease of replacement or retrofit.

• High durability and performance: Manufactured from quality bearing steel and finished to strict tolerances, this bearing provides reliable performance under continuous industrial use, reducing downtime and service needs.

Main Description

In industrial systems where high durability, minimal maintenance and seamless integration matter, the SKF 6003 2RS C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing (17x35x10 mm) delivers. The sealed design provides robust protection from contaminants and helps maintain lubricant integrity, which significantly extends operational life in applications such as motors, gearboxes, pumps and bearing housings. Each unit arrives factory-sealed and ready for installation, minimizing downtime and simplifying procurement.

Its deep groove geometry allows the bearing to carry radial loads effectively while also accepting moderate axial loads, offering versatility across many mechanical applications. The C3 internal clearance class increases adaptability under varied thermal and speed conditions, ensuring stable operation in demanding environments. Because the 17 by 35 by 10 mm size is industry standard, integration into existing bearing housings or as part of replacement runs is straightforward and cost-effective.

For engineers and purchasing professionals seeking a sealed ball bearing 17x35x10 with industrial-grade performance, the SKF 6003 2RS C3 stands out as a top choice. It joins the category of industrial bearing units built for consistent, long-term service. The pre-sealed, maintenance-free nature of the bearing makes it especially suited to installations where access is restricted or servicing must be minimized.

In summary: the SKF 6003 2RS C3 sealed deep groove ball bearing offers a combination of high durability, maintenance-free operation, and compatibility with standard bearing housings, making it a reliable component for demanding industrial applications.

FAQ

Q1: What does the “2RS C3” suffix mean?
A1: “2RS” indicates rubber seals on both sides of the bearing, providing protection and lubricant retention. “C3” denotes an increased internal clearance, which allows for higher operational speeds or accommodation of thermal expansion in the bearing housing.

Q2: Is this bearing ready to install without additional lubrication?
A2: Yes — the bearing is factory-sealed (2RS) and pre-lubricated, making it ready for mounting in a bearing housing or as part of a bearing unit immediately on delivery.

Q3: Can this 17x35x10 mm bearing handle axial loads?
A3: Yes, while primarily designed for radial loads, the deep groove construction allows for moderate axial loading in both directions, making it suitable for many industrial drive applications.

Q4: Is the size 17x35x10 mm a standard industry format?
A4: Yes — this dimension is a commonly used metric size in industrial bearing applications, enabling easy replacement or retrofit in bearing housings without need for major redesign.

Q5: In what types of environments is this bearing most suitable?
A5: Because of the sealed 2RS construction and high-durability design, this bearing is ideal for environments with dust, moisture or limited maintenance access - such as industrial motors, pumps, conveyor systems and automation equipment.
