6000-2Z/C3LTF7

• 6000: Basic model number denoting a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 10mm bore and 26mm outside diameter.
• 2Z: Designates that both sides of the bearing are shielded with metal shields. This provides effective protection against contamination while allowing for high-speed operation.
• C3: Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications where thermal expansion of the shaft or housing is expected, preventing excessive preload and potential bearing failure.
• LTF7: Specifies the use of a specific high-performance grease lubricant. This pre-lubrication ensures immediate operation and contributes to the bearing's long service life and high-speed capability.

The bearing's performance is derived from its precision construction. The single row deep groove raceway is optimized for radial load capacity. The use of chrome steel for all critical components (rings, balls, cage) ensures high strength and durability. The combination of metal shields (2Z) and pre-applied grease (LTF7) creates a sealed, maintenance-free unit that protects against contaminants and retains lubrication, directly contributing to its high limiting speed of 31,000 rpm and extended service life. The C3 clearance provides operational stability in environments with fluctuating temperatures.

This bearing is ideally suited for a wide range of applications requiring a reliable, high-speed, and compact bearing solution. Common uses include:

• Electric Motors and Generators
• Industrial Gearboxes
• Pumps and Compressors
• Material Handling Equipment
• Precision Instruments and Office Automation Equipment
