Decoding SKF 6315/HC5C3
- 63Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 63 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 15Bore
- Bore 75 mm (15 × 5).
- HC5C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6315 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6315/HC5C3 measures 75 mm across the bore and 160 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 37 mm (75 x 160 x 37 mm).

SKF HC5C3 deep groove ball bearings are built to handle heat without sacrificing precision or load capacity. You will find them in furnaces, industrial fans and continuous process equipment where temperature is a constant challenge. MR supplies this line and can help you match the right size to your application.
The part number tells you a lot. The basic series number gives the section, while the HC5 suffix means the bearing has undergone a special heat treatment that allows it to operate at temperatures up to 200 °C. The C3 suffix indicates internal clearance larger than standard, which is needed to accommodate thermal expansion. So a 6202/HC5C3, like the 6204, 6213 and 6310 versions with the same suffix, runs steadily in hot environments.
Industries such as food processing, ceramics, metallurgy and petrochemicals rely on these bearings because their equipment operates at high temperatures. Typical spots include furnace fans, clinker conveyors, dryers and continuous process machines. The rigid ball design handles moderate radial and axial loads, and performance stays reliable when heat is a constant factor.
When selecting a bearing, consider the actual working temperature, the lubricant and the internal clearance. C3 clearance is critical in thermal applications because it prevents ring expansion from closing the gap and causing early failure. During installation, make sure alignment is correct and use the proper tools to avoid damaging the rings. The lubricant must be compatible with high temperatures, and any seal must resist heat without breaking down.
For cross-referencing, SKF bearings with the HC5C3 designation can be replaced by products from other brands that offer similar heat treatment and C3 clearance, such as those marked with S1 suffixes or equivalents. Always check dimensions and tolerances before swapping a bearing, since a different designation can mean different temperature limits or internal clearance. MR supplies this line.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6315/HC5C3 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6315/HC5C3 measures 75 mm across the bore and 160 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 37 mm (75 x 160 x 37 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6315.
- What do the HC5 and C3 suffixes mean on an SKF bearing?
- HC5 indicates a special heat treatment for high temperatures, while C3 indicates internal clearance greater than standard. Together they let the bearing operate correctly where heat causes expansion.
- Where are HC5C3 bearings typically used?
- They are used in equipment that runs hot, such as furnace fans, hot material conveyors, dryers and continuous process machines in the food, ceramics and metallurgy industries.
- How can I get a quote for an SKF HC5C3 bearing?
- Send the full bearing part number via WhatsApp or email to MR. The team will reply promptly with a quote for the size you need.
