Decoding SKF 6326/C3VL2071
- 63Series
- Deep groove ball bearings, 63 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 26Bore
- Bore 130 mm (26 × 5).
- C3VL2071Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
6326 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 6326/C3VL2071 measures 130 mm across the bore and 280 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 58 mm (130 x 280 x 58 mm).

Part of the SKF 62 series, this deep groove ball bearing is a medium-section unit built to carry radial and axial loads in either direction. Electric motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes are the usual homes for it, where running accuracy and long service matter. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies the line in several clearance and insulation configurations and helps buyers settle on the right one.
Reading the code is the fastest way to know what you are ordering. The basic number, such as 6215, sets both the size and the series, and the section can shift from one series to the next. Suffixes carry the rest of the story. C3 signals internal radial clearance above the normal value, which suits tight fits or when shaft and housing run at different temperatures. VL0241 identifies an insulating layer on the outer surface that blocks electric current from passing through the bearing. Put together, 6215/C3VL0241 gives you size, extra clearance and insulation in one line.
Typical installations include medium and large electric motors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, conveyor belts and machine tools. The insulated version shows up most often on motors driven by variable frequency drives, since stray currents can otherwise damage the raceways. Petrochemical plants, mining operations, food processing lines and water treatment facilities are among the settings where these bearings are common.
Selection comes down to a few inputs: radial and axial load, operating speed and the surrounding environment. Choose C3 clearance when the fit is an interference one or when thermal gradients are significant. The VL0241 coating needs careful handling during mounting so the insulating layer stays intact. Use a lubricant matched to the working temperature, and keep shaft and housing properly aligned to avoid extra stress on the bearing.
On interchangeability, SKF deep groove ball bearings can be swapped with other brands that use the same basic designation and equivalent suffixes, provided dimensions and clearance line up. The VL0241 coating, however, is an SKF-specific designation, so anyone needing insulation should confirm that the alternative delivers the same function. Match the complete part number before committing to a replacement.
If you already know the part number, send it by WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories LLC and the team will quote it. Unsure whether standard clearance or C3 fits your application, or whether you need the insulated version? The team can advise on that too, and suggest equivalents when a direct match is not obvious.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 6326/C3VL2071 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 6326/C3VL2071 measures 130 mm across the bore and 280 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 58 mm (130 x 280 x 58 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 6326.
- What does the C3 suffix mean on a deep groove ball bearing?
- C3 means the internal radial clearance is greater than normal. It is specified when the shaft or housing fit is tight, or when the parts operate at different temperatures, so the bearing does not end up preloaded and fail early.
- What is the purpose of the VL0241 coating?
- VL0241 is an insulating coating applied to the outer surface of the outer ring. It stops electric current from passing through the bearing, which protects the raceways from stray currents produced by variable frequency drives.
- Can an SKF bearing of this series be replaced by another brand?
- Yes, as long as the replacement has the same dimensions and C3 clearance. Keep in mind that VL0241 is an SKF designation; other manufacturers use their own codes for insulated bearings, so verify that the substitute provides the same insulation.
