Decoding SKF 6206 Y/C78
- 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).
- Y/C78Suffix
- 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

When a machine needs a bearing that carries radial load and a moderate amount of axial load at speed, the SKF Y/C series deep groove ball bearing is a common answer. A single row of balls running in a steel cage keeps friction low and rotation smooth, which is why these bearings turn up in motors, pumps, fans and conveyors. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to maintenance and purchasing teams in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code is the first step in picking the right unit. SKF builds the designation from a basic number that sets the size plus suffixes that describe the execution. Take 6206 Y/C78: the 62 tells you it is the medium section series, and Y/C78 marks a special execution that typically involves a defined internal clearance and a particular lubricant. In 6213 Y/C78 the same 62 series applies, while 13 fixes the bore diameter. Once you can decode these blocks, matching a bearing to a machine becomes much faster.
These bearings suit a broad range of plants. Electric motors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, conveyors and agricultural equipment are typical homes for them, and their mix of radial capacity with moderate axial support keeps them useful in food, textile and petrochemical operations where dependable running and simple upkeep matter. They work both as replacements and in new builds.
Selection comes down to load, speed and the environment around the bearing. Look at internal clearance and at how the bearing is sealed, since the Y/C suffixes often point to seals or flingers that keep contaminants out. The lubricant has to match the operating temperature. At assembly, align the components carefully and avoid impacts that could mark the raceways; a correct fit on shaft and housing is what lets the bearing reach its intended service life.
On interchangeability, deep groove ball bearings from different makers can usually be swapped when the basic designation matches, so a 6206 or a 6213 is a reasonable starting point. The suffixes are where brands part ways, and Y/C codes are not identical across manufacturers. Confirm the exact technical data before you install a substitute.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6206 Y/C78 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6206 Y/C78 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 Y/C78 suffix indicate on an SKF bearing?
- It marks a special execution defined by SKF, which can cover a specific internal clearance and a specific lubricant. Check the data sheet or ask MR Industrial Accessories LLC for the details that apply to your machine.
- Can I replace this bearing with one from another brand?
- Usually yes, as long as the basic designation matches, for example 6206. Suffixes are not standardized between manufacturers, so compare the technical specifications before substituting.
- Where is the 62 series typically used?
- The medium section 62 series fits electric motors, pumps, fans, conveyors and general machinery. It handles radial load plus moderate axial load and runs well at higher speeds.
