6006 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Medium load, high speed.
The 6006 bearing delivers 1346 kg (13.20 kN) dynamic load capacity and is machined to a 30 mm bore with precision tolerances. A compact 30 × 55 × 13 mm footprint built for demanding industrial duty.

Load Ratings
What This Means
Dynamic load (Cr) is the maximum force while rotating; static load (Cor) is the limit when stationary. Apply an ~80% safety margin in design — sustained overload cracks the raceway and shortens service life dramatically.
Speed Limits
What This Means
Above the grease limit heat builds up exponentially; oil lubrication gives far better cooling. Keep continuous operation at ~90% of the limit — exceeding it causes cage failure and seizure.
Material & Quality
What This Means
SAE 52100 chrome steel gives high hardness and fatigue strength; G10 ultra-precision balls hold ±0.25µm roundness. High carbon ensures hardness, chromium adds corrosion resistance.
Vibration Classes
What This Means
V2 is the standard grade; V3 is low-vibration for sensitive drives; V4 is ultra-smooth, made for precision instruments and metrology equipment.
Noise Levels
What This Means
Z2 ≈ library quiet, Z3 ≈ a whisper, Z4 is ultra-silent — chosen for medical devices and bedroom fans where noise must be imperceptible.
Internal Clearance
What This Means
C2 is precise/tight, C0 is the standard, C3 suits hot environments where thermal expansion closes the gap, while C4/C5 are for extra-hot running or interference (tight) fits.

Professional Expertise & Standards
ISO Compliance
Full conformance to ISO 15:2011 boundary dimensions ensures interchangeability with global bearing standards and drop-in fit to existing systems.
Material Science
SAE 52100 chrome steel with controlled carbon and chromium content delivers superior hardness, wear resistance and long fatigue life.
Precision Engineering
C0 clearance suits most applications; C3 for high temperature. h6 shaft tolerance is recommended for correct preload.
Professional Mounting
Correct tools and technique prevent ~80% of premature failures. Never hammer directly — use induction heating or a press fit.
Performance Comparison
In a compact 55 × 13 mm footprint the 6006 carries 13.20 kN — outperforming many same-size alternatives.
Value Engineering
Best value in the 30 mm class for 13.20 kN performance. A quality bearing lasts 3–10× longer than a budget part.
