Decoding SKF 6205-2Z/C3GWP
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 05Bore
- Bore 25 mm (05 × 5).
- 2Z/C3GWPSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6205 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description

This SKF deep groove ball bearing features the 2Z and C3GWP suffixes in a medium-section design. It handles moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. Two metal shields (2Z) keep lubricant in and contaminants out, while the GWP long-life grease eliminates the need for frequent relubrication. This makes it a practical choice for equipment where maintenance access is limited.
The part number breaks down into four elements. The basic number, such as 6203 or 6205, defines the size and series; series 62 is a medium section that balances load capacity with space. The 2Z suffix means two metal shields, one per side. C3 indicates radial internal clearance above standard, which suits interference fits or temperature differences between shaft and housing. GWP identifies a special lifetime lubrication formulated for demanding conditions without relubrication.
These bearings appear in electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, gearboxes, conveyors, and machine tools. They also serve refrigeration equipment, compressors, and power transmission systems. Industries including food, chemical, petrochemical, and metallurgical rely on them for their versatility and low maintenance. Their ability to run at moderate and high speeds makes them suitable for rotating equipment in general.
Selection depends on the radial and axial load, rotation speed, fit on shaft and housing, and environmental conditions. The 2Z shield works well in moderate dust or humidity but is not for immersion. Choose C3 clearance when the fit is interference or thermal gradients exist. GWP lubrication is pre-applied and needs no additional maintenance under normal conditions. During mounting, ensure correct alignment and avoid impacts that could damage raceways or shields.
Deep groove ball bearings with similar suffixes from other brands may be interchangeable, but always verify critical dimensions and operating conditions. The SKF designation may have equivalents in other catalogs, though lubrication and clearance suffixes can differ. Do not assume a similar code delivers the same performance; consult each manufacturer's technical specifications. At MR Industrial Accessories, we can help you find the right reference.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6205-2Z/C3GWP bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6205-2Z/C3GWP measures 25 mm across the bore and 52 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 15 mm (25 x 52 x 15 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6205.
- What does the C3 suffix mean on a bearing?
- C3 indicates radial internal clearance greater than standard. It is used with interference fits or temperature differences between shaft and housing to prevent preload.
- Does this bearing need relubrication?
- No. The GWP designation means it comes with lifetime lubrication. Under normal conditions, it requires no relubrication, reducing maintenance.
- Can I replace an SKF bearing with one from a different brand?
- Yes, if dimensions and tolerances are equivalent. However, lubrication and clearance suffixes may vary. Verify specifications and consult us for compatibility.
