Request Technical InformationProduct Overview
The 6000 Series uses a compact section for space-conscious equipment design. It is a practical starting point when shaft size is fixed and the available housing diameter or width is limited.
Space-conscious motor layouts
The compact geometry suits motors, appliance drives and mechanisms where adjacent components restrict the bearing envelope.
Direct model comparison
Use the table to compare dimensions, Cr, C0r and limiting speeds across the listed 6000 Series models.
Selection notes
Check that the compact section still meets the application load, speed, fit, clearance, lubrication and environmental requirements.
Closure Options
Open Bearing
Lowest closure frictionAn open bearing leaves the raceway accessible and is commonly considered where the surrounding assembly provides protection.
- Lowest sealing friction
- Convenient lubrication access
- Suited to clean, protected environments
Typical applicationsProtected motor housings · Clean mechanisms · Lubrication-accessible assemblies
ZZ / Metal Shields
Low-friction grease retentionNon-contact metal shields help retain grease and reduce entry of larger dust particles while maintaining low running friction.
- Non-contact metal shielding
- Low running friction
- Helps retain grease
Typical applicationsMotors · Fans · Gearboxes · General industrial equipment
RS / 2RS Rubber Seals
Stronger environmental protectionRubber seals provide stronger protection against dust and moisture and generally retain grease more effectively than Open or ZZ designs.
- Stronger dust and moisture protection
- Better grease retention
- Normally higher sealing friction
Typical applicationsContamination-exposed equipment · Appliance drives · Industrial mechanisms
| Configuration | Protection | Grease retention | Relative closure drag | Typical selection priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open Bearing | Provided mainly by the surrounding assembly | Depends on the lubrication system | Lowest | Clean operation and lubrication access |
| ZZ / Metal Shields | Moderate protection from larger particles | Good | Low | General-purpose protected running |
| RS / 2RS Rubber Seals | Highest of the three options | Highest | Higher | Contamination and moisture control |
Exact closure availability should be confirmed by model and application requirements. Applicable speed for RS / 2RS designs should be checked for the selected seal configuration.
Materials & Configuration
Material availability is confirmed by model. Select the material system around corrosion exposure, load, wear, speed, operating environment and project cost.
Bearing Steel
GCr15 / AISI 52100A common material system for motors, gearboxes and general industrial applications where corrosion resistance is not the primary requirement.
- High hardness
- Good wear resistance
- Good rolling fatigue performance
304 Stainless Steel
Austenitic stainless steelStrong corrosion resistance for humid or corrosion-sensitive environments; mechanical and load requirements must be considered for the application.
- Strong corrosion resistance
- Useful in humid environments
- Requires load and mechanical review
420 Stainless Steel
Martensitic stainless steelA balance of hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance for bearing applications that also require mechanical strength.
- Balanced hardness and corrosion resistance
- Good wear resistance
- Mechanical-strength focused
440 Stainless Steel
High-hardness stainless steelHigher hardness and wear resistance for precision stainless bearing applications requiring stronger bearing performance.
- Higher hardness
- Higher wear resistance
- Precision stainless applications

FAQ
For corresponding bore sizes, the 6000 Series generally uses a smaller outside diameter and a more compact section. The 6200 Series provides a larger section and higher catalogue load ratings where more housing space is available.
