Decoding SKF 6006-2Z
- 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).
- 2ZSuffix
- 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 60 series deep groove ball bearings are thin-section components designed to handle radial and axial loads in both directions. They come with Z or 2Z shields that help keep lubricant in and particles out. Typical uses include electric motors, pumps, fans, and light-duty transmissions. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these bearings and assists you in selecting the right part number.
The part number tells you the size and shield type. The basic number (e.g., 6000, 6001, 6002) identifies the 60 series, known for its thin cross-section. Suffixes indicate shielding: Z means a metal shield on one side, 2Z means shields on both sides. For instance, 6000-2Z has two shields, while 6000-Z has one. These shields are not hermetic seals; they simply limit contaminant entry and grease loss.
In US industry, these bearings are common in low- to medium-power electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, small compressors, machine tools, and transmission equipment. They also appear in automotive components like alternators and tensioners. Their compact size and ability to run at moderate to high speeds suit equipment where space is tight and maintenance is minimal.
When selecting a bearing, consider radial and axial loads, speed, and environmental conditions. The 60 series has a thin section, so it carries less load than other series but permits higher speeds. For dusty or moist environments, choose Z or 2Z shielded versions. During installation, verify shaft and housing alignment, and avoid hitting the shields. Factory lubrication typically lasts for the bearing's life, but demanding applications may require relubrication.
When replacing a bearing, you may find equivalents across brands. The part numbers of the 60 series with Z and 2Z suffixes are standard and often interchangeable among manufacturers that follow the same dimensions. However, always check tolerances and internal clearance, as they can differ. At MR Industrial Accessories, we supply SKF and can advise on interchangeability.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6006-2Z bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6006-2Z 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 is the difference between a 6000-Z bearing and a 6000-2Z bearing?
- The Z suffix means a shield on one side only; 2Z has shields on both sides. The 2Z version offers better protection against contaminants and lubricant loss, but its limiting speed may be slightly lower.
- Are these bearings interchangeable with other brands?
- Yes, 60 series bearings with Z and 2Z suffixes are usually interchangeable between brands that adhere to the same dimensions and tolerances. Still, it is wise to verify internal clearance and shield quality before replacing.
- How do I determine which bearing part number I need?
- Measure the shaft diameter, outer diameter, and width of the old bearing, or read the engraved part number. With that information, send us the part number on WhatsApp and we will confirm the equivalent SKF designation.
