Skf 6006 Jem Deep Groove Ball Bearing 55mm Open

Product Description

The SKF 6006 JEM is a single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for radial and moderate axial load applications in rotating equipment. It features an open (unshielded) design with a 55 mm outside diameter, round bore, and a steel cage. Rated to 17,000 RPM maximum, this bearing meets ABEC-3 tolerance standards, making it suitable for general industrial machinery, electric motors, pumps, fans, and similar rotating assemblies. Installation and replacement are performed by mechanical and industrial service technicians.

This bearing fits applications where an open-style, single-row deep groove design is required in the 6006 series envelope. Open bearings are commonly used when external lubrication is supplied by the surrounding system or when operating conditions call for easy re-lubrication access. Typical installations include light-to-medium industrial equipment, HVAC fan motors, and general power transmission assemblies requiring a compact radial bearing in the 6006 frame size.

Key Features

• Open (unshielded) design allows external lubrication access
• 55 mm outside diameter in the standard 6006 series envelope
• Rated to 17,000 RPM for high-speed rotating equipment
• ABEC-3 tolerance class for general-purpose precision applications
• Steel cage construction for durability under load
• Single-row configuration handles radial loads with moderate axial capacity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for equipment requiring a 6006 series single-row deep groove ball bearing with an open style and 55 mm outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Bearing replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright following the equipment manufacturer's service procedures. De-energize and lock out all power to the machine before removing or installing bearings. Use a proper bearing press or induction heater to seat the bearing on the shaft and in the housing - never strike the bearing directly with a hammer. Verify shaft and housing tolerances before installation to prevent premature failure.
