Decoding SKF 6000-Z/C3HVT183
- 60Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 00Bore
- Bore 10 mm: by standard, 00 designates 10 mm.
- Z/C3HVT183Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6000 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6000-Z/C3HVT183 measures 10 mm across the bore and 26 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (10 x 26 x 8 mm).

SKF deep groove ball bearings handle radial and axial loads in rotating equipment. Their single-row design with deep raceways supports high-speed operation with minimal maintenance. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this brand and helps you find the right code for your application.
The part number tells you what you are getting. In 6000-Z/C3HVT183, 6000 is the extra-light series, Z means a metal shield on one side, C3 sets internal radial clearance above standard, and HVT183 indicates a variant with special heat treatment and high-temperature lubrication. In 6212-2Z/C4HVT376, 6212 is the medium series, 2Z means shields on both sides, C4 is even greater clearance, and HVT376 is a version built for severe conditions. Reading these codes correctly is essential when ordering a replacement.
These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, conveyors, machine tools and gearboxes. They take combined loads and run at high speeds, which suits precision-driven applications in food processing, chemical, petrochemical and manufacturing plants.
Selection depends on load, speed, operating temperature and environment. Metal shields (Z, 2Z) work well in dry conditions; rubber seals (RS, 2RS) handle moisture and dust. Internal clearance (C3, C4) compensates for thermal expansion. Lubrication must match the temperature, and HVT variants typically include high-performance greases. During mounting, check alignment and avoid impacts that can damage the raceways.
Interchangeability exists between brands: an SKF 6205 can cross to codes from FAG, NSK or NTN that follow the same dimensional designation. Tolerances and clearances may differ, so verify technical specifications before substituting. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF and can advise on interchangeability without compromising your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6000-Z/C3HVT183 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6000-Z/C3HVT183 measures 10 mm across the bore and 26 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 8 mm (10 x 26 x 8 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6000.
- What does the HVT suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- HVT indicates a variant with special heat treatment and lubrication for high temperatures. These bearings are designed to withstand extreme heat while maintaining performance in demanding industrial applications.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Yes, dimensional equivalences exist between brands, but you must verify tolerances, clearance and lubrication. A similar code may not meet the same specifications. Consult us with the original code and we will advise on the best option.
- How do I choose between Z shield and RS seal?
- The Z metal shield protects against large particles and suits dry environments. The RS rubber seal offers better protection against moisture and fine dust. The choice depends on your application conditions; if you have doubts, consult us.
