6000 Bearing
Bore (d) 10 mm
Outside diameter (D) 26 mm
Width (B) 8 mm
Inches (bore × OD × width) 0.3937 × 1.0236 × 0.3150″
Deep-groove ball bearing, extra light (6000) series. Seal/shield suffixes (ZZ, 2RS, …) change the closures, never these dimensions — a 6000-ZZ and 6000-2RS are the same size.
What the number means
- 6 — deep-groove ball bearing
- 0 — dimension series (extra light (6000))
- 00 — bore code (00 → 10 mm)
Neighboring sizes (extra light (6000) series)
Same bore, other series
Fits the same 10 mm shaft with a different OD/width envelope and load capacity.
- 6800 — 10 × 19 × 5 mm (thin section (6800))
- 6900 — 10 × 22 × 6 mm (thin section (6900))
- 6200 — 10 × 30 × 9 mm (light (6200))
- 6300 — 10 × 35 × 11 mm (medium (6300))
