Decoding SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT
- 62Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 62 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 06Bore
- Bore 30 mm (06 × 5).
- 2Z/C3WTSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6206 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT measures 30 mm across the bore and 62 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 16 mm (30 x 62 x 16 mm).

SKF deep groove ball bearings carrying the 2Z/C3WT suffixes handle moderate radial and axial loads in rotating equipment. Two metal shields, one per side, hold grease in place and keep contaminants out, while the C3WT clearance and grease spec suit running temperatures above the usual range. Electric motors, fans, pumps and transmission units are typical homes for this design.
Reading the code tells you what you are holding. Take 6001-2Z/C3WT: 6001 is the size and series, here series 60 with an extra light section. The 2Z portion means a metal shield sits on each face. After the slash, C3WT combines C3 internal radial clearance, looser than standard, with WT high-temperature grease. Expect to see this combination where thermal expansion or faster speeds come into play.
Where do these bearings fit? Low and medium power electric motors, fans and extractors, centrifugal pumps, small compressors, machine tools and transmission equipment all use them. The shielded build tolerates dusty or moderately humid surroundings, so food plants, mechanical workshops and ventilation systems are common settings. If you need a medium section instead, series 62 splits the difference between load capacity and speed.
Selection comes down to load, speed and temperature. Interference fits on the shaft or in the housing, or thermal gradients across the assembly, point toward C3 clearance. Remember that 2Z shields are not watertight; where liquids or heavy humidity are present, contact seals (2RS) deserve a look. Mount with care: align the components precisely and avoid impacts that could mark the raceways. WT grease is packed at the factory, so in most cases no relubrication is needed.
On interchangeability, deep groove ball bearings follow international standards, so dimensions match across brands. A comparable part number from another maker can stand in for the SKF unit when dimensions and suffixes line up. Lubrication and clearance can still differ between manufacturers, so check the data sheet before committing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies SKF and can point you to the right option for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6206-2Z/C3WT measures 30 mm across the bore and 62 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 16 mm (30 x 62 x 16 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6206.
- What does the C3WT suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- C3 stands for internal radial clearance larger than normal, which suits high-temperature service or interference fits. WT identifies high-temperature grease lubrication. Together they describe a bearing set up for tougher operating conditions.
- Can I replace a 2Z bearing with a 2RS one?
- It can be done, but the trade-offs matter. 2RS uses contact seals that block liquids and dust more effectively, yet they add friction and lower the speed limit. In a very wet or particle-heavy environment, 2RS is often the better fit.
- How do I know which bearing part number I need for my machine?
- Look for the number engraved on the old bearing or check the equipment manual. If neither is available, send a photo plus the shaft and housing measurements on WhatsApp and the team will help you match the correct replacement.
