Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the 6006-2RS bearing?
A: The 6006-2RS is an industry-standard metric ball bearing with a 30 mm bore, 55 mm outside diameter, and 13 mm race width. It is rated for 2970 lbs dynamic load and 1860 lbs static load, operates up to 7500 RPM grease-lubricated, and conforms to ABEC 3 precision grade.
Q: What do the double nitrile seals on the 6006-2RS do?
A: The double nitrile rubber contact seals provide superior lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion. They keep grease inside the bearing and prevent dirt, moisture, and debris from entering the bearing cavity.
Q: What material is the 6006-2RS bearing made from?
A: The 6006-2RS is constructed from SAE 52100 chrome steel races with Grade 10 precision balls. Chrome steel provides excellent hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance for long bearing life.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 6006-2RS?
A: The 6006-2RS is equivalent to SKF 6006-2RS1, SKF 6006-2RSH, 6006-2RSR, and NSK 6006-2NSE. It supersedes the 6006-ZZ metal shield variant for sealed applications.
Q: When should I replace the 6006-2RS bearing?
A: Replace the 6006-2RS when you hear grinding noise, feel roughness during rotation, experience increased vibration in the load wheel assembly, or detect grease leakage around the seals. Sealed bearings cannot be relubricated so replacement is necessary.
Q: What pallet jack models use the 6006-2RS bearing?
A: The 6006-2RS fits manual and electric pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, and CAT. Verify your specific model and load wheel assembly to confirm fitment.
