Standard Deep Groove Ball Bearings · 6000 Series

6000 Series Deep Groove Ball Bearings

The 6000 Series provides the smallest section of the three standard series listed here for a given bore, supporting compact motor and equipment layouts.

Search the current LUMI catalogue records from 6000ZZ through 6009ZZ by model or d × D × B.

Final selection must still account for load, speed, shaft and housing fits, internal clearance, lubrication and the operating environment.

Open and ZZ widths are listed separately where applicable. Limiting speeds are catalogue values in ×1000 rpm; suitable application speed depends on the final bearing configuration and operating conditions.

Product 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.

01

Compact radial section

For the same listed bore, the 6000 series uses a smaller outside diameter than the corresponding 6200 and 6300 series in this catalogue.

02

Space-conscious motor layouts

The compact geometry suits motors, appliance drives and mechanisms where adjacent components restrict the bearing envelope.

03

Direct model comparison

Use the table to compare dimensions, Cr, C0r and limiting speeds across the listed 6000 Series models.

04

Selection notes

Check that the compact section still meets the application load, speed, fit, clearance, lubrication and environmental requirements.

Closure Options

Open deep groove ball bearing illustrating an unsealed closure

Open Bearing

Lowest closure friction

An 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-shielded deep groove ball bearing illustrating metal closures

ZZ / Metal Shields

Low-friction grease retention

Non-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
2RS rubber-sealed deep groove ball bearing illustrating rubber seals

RS / 2RS Rubber Seals

Stronger environmental protection

Rubber 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
ConfigurationProtectionGrease retentionRelative closure dragTypical selection priority
Open BearingProvided mainly by the surrounding assemblyDepends on the lubrication systemLowestClean operation and lubrication access
ZZ / Metal ShieldsModerate protection from larger particlesGoodLowGeneral-purpose protected running
RS / 2RS Rubber SealsHighest of the three optionsHighestHigherContamination 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.

GCr15 and AISI 52100 chrome bearing steel bar stock

Bearing Steel

GCr15 / AISI 52100

A 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 bar stock for corrosion-resistant bearing review

304 Stainless Steel

Austenitic stainless steel

Strong 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 bar stock for bearing material selection

420 Stainless Steel

Martensitic stainless steel

A 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 bar stock for precision bearing material review

440 Stainless Steel

High-hardness stainless steel

Higher hardness and wear resistance for precision stainless bearing applications requiring stronger bearing performance.

  • Higher hardness
  • Higher wear resistance
  • Precision stainless applications
How to choose

  • Noise and vibration grading
  • Material and process traceability

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.
