SKF 60/62 series deep groove ball bearings handle radial and axial loads in rotating equipment. They are available with 2Z metal shields and C3 or C4 internal clearance. MR Industrial Accessories supplies these bearings to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America. To request a quote, send the full bearing code by WhatsApp or email.
The bearing code tells you what you are getting. Take 6000-2Z/C3VT127: 6000 is the extra-thin section series, 2Z means two metal shields, C3 is internal radial clearance above normal, and VT127 is a specific lubricant and treatment. In 6209-2Z/C4VT269, the 62 series is medium section and C4 clearance is larger than C3. Reading these suffixes correctly helps you match the bearing to the application.
These bearings are common in electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and power transmission equipment. The 2Z shield keeps out dust and larger particles, which suits dirty or moderately humid environments. Because they take combined loads, they work well in machines that run at high speed and need precision. If liquids are present, a rubber-sealed variant is the better choice.
Selection depends on load, speed and operating conditions. C3 or C4 clearance matters when temperature rise causes expansion, since it prevents excessive preload. During mounting, align the bearing accurately and apply the lubricant specified by the VT code. Correct installation and lubrication help the bearing reach its expected service life.
Equivalents exist between brands. An SKF 6206-2Z/C3 can be replaced by a similar code from another manufacturer if dimensions, clearance and sealing match. Lubricant and treatment suffixes are not universal, so verify them before substituting. MR can review your original code and suggest a suitable equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does 2Z mean on an SKF bearing?
- 2Z means the bearing has two metal shields, one per side. They block dust and large particles but are not liquid-tight, so they suit moderate protection at high speed.
- How do C3 and C4 clearance differ?
- C3 is above-normal internal radial clearance; C4 is larger still. Both are used where heat causes expansion and could otherwise overload the bearing. Match clearance to your temperature and fit.
- Can I use another brand in place of an SKF bearing?
- Often yes, provided dimensions, clearance and sealing agree. Lubricant and treatment suffixes may differ between makers, so send us the original code and we will check the equivalent.
