Decoding SKF W 6202/C3
- W 62Series
- Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, W 62 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 02Bore
- Bore 15 mm: by standard, 02 designates 15 mm.
- C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
W 6202 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF W 6202/C3 measures 15 mm across the bore and 35 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 11 mm (15 x 35 x 11 mm).

SKF stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are single row bearings with stainless steel rings, balls and cage. They are built for corrosive environments or frequent washdowns, where moisture, chemicals or intensive cleaning would shorten the life of a chrome steel bearing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line to customers across the United States and Latin America.
The W series part number tells you what you are holding. The leading W means both rings and balls are stainless steel. The number that follows, as in W 6202/C3, identifies the size and dimensional series—here series 62, medium section. After the slash, the suffix gives the internal clearance: C3 is greater than normal radial clearance, which helps when fits are tight or when shaft and housing run at different temperatures. Other suffixes exist for different needs, so always confirm the complete part number before ordering.
These bearings are specified where corrosion is the main threat: food and beverage plants, washdown zones, chemical processing equipment, irrigation systems, boats and shipyards. They also suit machines cleaned with pressure or steam, and outdoor applications where ambient humidity quickly degrades a standard bearing. Typical installations include packaging lines, sanitary pumps and conveyors in humid areas or where cleaning agents are present.
Selection starts with the contaminant. Corrosive liquids call for stainless steel; if particles are also present, evaluate seals or shields. Choose C3 clearance when the shaft or housing fit is tighter than normal, or when operating temperature is high. During mounting, clean the shaft and housing thoroughly and lubricate with a grease compatible with stainless steel. Correct alignment avoids additional loads that shorten service life.
When comparing equivalents, stainless bearings from different brands may vary in steel composition, cage type or internal clearance. Not all stainless series interchange between brands, even when main dimensions match. Always verify the complete part number and the operating conditions before substituting one bearing for another. If anything is unclear, our technical team can help you interpret the designation and pick the right variant.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF W 6202/C3 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF W 6202/C3 measures 15 mm across the bore and 35 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 11 mm (15 x 35 x 11 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation W 6202.
- What does the C3 suffix mean on an SKF W 6202/C3 bearing?
- C3 indicates internal radial clearance greater than normal. It is used when the fit on the shaft or housing is tighter than usual, or when temperature differences between parts could otherwise preload the bearing.
- Is this bearing suitable for environments with high humidity?
- Yes. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for humid environments, frequent washdowns or exposure to chemicals. Lubrication and sealing should still be evaluated for the specific contaminant.
- Can I replace a stainless steel bearing from another brand with this SKF one?
- Often, if the main dimensions and internal clearance match, it may be compatible. However, differences in steel, cage or lubrication can exist. Always verify the complete part number and check with us before making the change.
