- 60Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 06Bore
- Bore 30 mm (06 × 5).
- 2RS1/C3GJNSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6006 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6006-2RS1/C3GJN measures 30 mm across the bore and 55 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 13 mm (30 x 55 x 13 mm).

The 60 series from SKF covers medium-section deep groove ball bearings built to carry radial and axial loads in either direction. The versions handled here are sealed on both sides and packed with high-temperature grease, so they hold up in environments where dust, moisture and heat are part of daily operation. Electric motors, pumps, fans and transmissions are the usual homes for these bearings.
Reading the code tells you what you are holding. The base number, 6006 for instance, sets the series and the size. A 2RS1 or 2RS2 suffix means contact seals sit on both faces, and the two designs differ in construction. Clearance comes next: C3 or C4, where a larger figure means more internal play. The final block, GJN, is the high-temperature grease applied at the factory. Put together, a 6006-2RS1/C3GJN is a sealed bearing with C3 clearance and high-temperature grease.
Typical installations include electric motors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, compressors and gearboxes, and they also show up in food, petrochemical, textile and metalworking plants. The double seal keeps dust and moisture away from the raceways, and the GJN grease tolerates elevated temperatures, which helps equipment running continuously. For maintenance and replacement work, this makes the line a practical choice.
Selection comes down to load, speed and operating temperature. C3 or C4 clearance matters when fits are tight or when temperature differences across the bearing are significant. The 2RS1 or 2RS2 seal keeps grease in and contaminants out. When mounting, confirm that shaft and housing are aligned and use the right tools so the seals stay intact. Grease is already inside; leave it alone unless the manufacturer says otherwise.
Interchange between brands is possible for deep groove ball bearings when dimensions and suffixes line up. An SKF 6006-2RS1/C3GJN can be matched by an equivalent from another maker with the same specifications, but check the full code and the operating conditions first. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SKF and can help you locate the right reference.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6006-2RS1/C3GJN bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6006-2RS1/C3GJN measures 30 mm across the bore and 55 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 13 mm (30 x 55 x 13 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6006.
- What does the GJN suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- It identifies the high-temperature grease the bearing is filled with at the factory. That grease handles demanding thermal conditions, which suits applications where relubrication is not part of the routine.
- How do 2RS1 and 2RS2 differ?
- Both indicate contact seals on both sides. The distinction is in the seal itself, since 2RS1 and 2RS2 can differ in material or geometry. Review the specifications to pick the one that fits your environment.
- Can an SKF bearing be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, provided the main dimensions and the relevant suffixes match. Confirm the complete code and the operating conditions. If anything is unclear, send us the original code and we will advise.
