Decoding SKF 6040 M
- 60Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 60 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 40Bore
- Bore 200 mm (40 × 5).
- MSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6040 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6040 M measures 200 mm across the bore and 310 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 51 mm (200 x 310 x 51 mm).

SKF M series deep groove ball bearings are single-row bearings that handle radial and axial loads in industrial equipment. The machined brass cage provides rigidity and smooth operation, making these bearings suitable for electric motors, pumps, and fans where precision and durability matter. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The part number tells you the size and cage type. The first digits indicate the bearing type and dimension series, while the M suffix means the cage is machined brass, which offers strength for high-speed duty. For example, 6014 M is a single-row ball bearing of the 60 series with a 70 mm bore, and 6038 M has a 190 mm bore. Reading the code helps you match the bearing to your equipment.
These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, compressors, fans, and conveyors. They support combined loads and run quietly, which suits continuous operation. Sealed or shielded versions handle dusty or humid conditions. Industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical, and metallurgical rely on them.
When selecting a bearing, consider the radial and axial loads, rotation speed, and environment. Install with suitable tools and avoid impacts that could damage the raceways. Check alignment between shaft and housing, and use the recommended lubricant. Proper sealing keeps contaminants out and extends service life. Our technical team can help if you need guidance.
SKF M series bearings can interchange with other brands that follow the same dimensional and cage designation. However, tolerances and internal clearance may differ, so verify them. Choose original components when possible for expected performance. At MR Industrial Accessories, we supply SKF bearings with quality and traceability.
