Working with SKF IT and logistics systems and application experts, SKF
Authorized Distributors deliver a valuable mix of product and application
knowledge to customers worldwide.
Innovative solutions
Whether the application is linear or rotary
or a combination, SKF engineers can work
with you at each stage of the asset life cycle
to improve machine performance by looking
at the entire application. This approach
doesnt just focus on individual components
like bearings or seals. It looks at the whole
application to see how each component interacts with each other.

Operating conditions:
Operating
temperature
The operating temperatures of shielded SKF
Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings
and equivalent SKF Explorer bearings were
measured at certain speeds and compared
( diagram 4). Test conditions were:
Bearing: 6205-2Z/C3
Running time: 24 h at each speed interval
Ambient temperature: room temperature
Load: 0,5 kN radial
The test showed that the SKF E2 bearing
ran 5to 15 C cooler than the standard
SKF Explorer bearing, depending on speed.
Similar results were observed for sealed
SKF E2 bearings.

10
Under the recommended operating conditions, the service life of the grease in capped
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings normally defines the service life of the
bearing and can be estimated using
diagram 5. The estimate is based on an L10
grease life. This is defined as the period of
time, at the end of which, 90% of a sufficiently large group of seemingly identical
bearings are still reliably lubricated.
Grease life depends mainly on the following factors:

Capped bearings
Depending on series and size, SKF Energy
Efficient deep groove ball bearings can be
supplied with :
Z shields on both sides ( fig. 1)
E2 RSH contact seals on both sides
( fig. 2)
The sealed E2 bearings are supplied with a
new low-friction contact seal. The new seal
is made from acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
(NBR) and reinforced with a sheet steel
insert. The seal lip, which has a thin and
flexible design, minimizes the frictional
moment, while effectively protecting the
bearing from contaminants. The seal lip and
bearing groove contact have been optimized
to reduce friction.
NBR operating temperature range: 40 to
+110 C (40 to +210 F).

Grease fill
Internal clearance
The bearings are filled with a special lownoise, low-friction SKF grease ( table 2).
The bearings are lubricated for life and are
maintenance-free1).
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings are manufactured with C3 radial internal clearance as standard. Bearings with
radial internal clearance other than C3 can
be supplied on request.
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings have similar axial load carrying capacity
as SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearings. If
they are subjected to purely axial loads, this
load should generally not exceed the value
of 0,5 C0. Small bearings (bore diameter up
to approximately 12 mm) and bearings in
the 60 series should not be subjected to an
axial load greater than 0,25 C0. Excessive
axial load can lead to a reduction in bearing
service life.
Cages
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings are fitted with a ball centred snap-type
cage made of a temperature-resistant glass
fibre reinforced composite polymer.
Bearing data
Dimension standards
The boundary dimensions of SKF Energy
Efficient deep groove ball bearings are in
accordance with ISO 15:1998. This makes
the bearings dimensionally interchangeable
with deep groove ball bearings of the same
size in the same dimension series.
Tolerances
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings are manufactured to P6 tolerances for
dimensional accuracy. The width tolerance is
however reduced to:
0/60 m for bearings with an outside
diameter ` 110 mm
0/100 m for bearings with an outside
diameter > 110 mm
The running accuracy depends on the
bearing size and corresponds to:
P5 tolerances for bearings with an
outside diameter ` 52 mm
P6 tolerances for bearings with an
outside diameter > 52 mm ` 110 mm
Normal tolerances for bearings with an
outside diameter > 110 mm
Misalignment
SKF Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings have the same operating characteristics
as SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearings.
In other words, depending on the various
influencing factors, the permissible angular
misalignment lies between 2 and 10 minutes
of arc. Misalignment can increase bearing
noise and reduce bearing service life. For
additional information, refer to the SKF
Rolling bearings catalogue available online at
www.skf.com.
Minimum load
Rolling bearings should always be subjected
to a given minimum load. The requisite
minimum radial load to be applied to SKF
Energy Efficient deep groove ball bearings
can be estimated using
kr
q dm w2
Frm = (5,2 n) 2/3
T < 100 z
where
Frm = requisite minimum radial load [kN]
kr = minimum load factor
0,025 for bearings in the
60 and 62 series
0,03 for bearings in the 63 series
T =
minimum temperature that the
bearing will operate at [C]
n = rotational speed [r/min]
dm = bearing mean diameter [mm]
= 0,5 (d + D)
When starting at low temperatures consider
this in minimum load calculation.
For applications like electric motors,
where the requisite radial load may not be
met, springs can be used to apply an axial
preload instead.
1) Maintenance-free,
in this case, means that the bearings should not be lubricated prior to or during operation. However, despite the use of this term, you should
still check the fit and function of this SKF product as
part of a regularly scheduled maintenance
programme.
