The SKF 6206-2Z/VA228 deep groove ball bearing is engineered for applications operating in high temperature environments where conventional lubricated bearings may fail. This bearing features SKF’s VA228 high temperature specification, allowing reliable operation at temperatures up to 350°C (660°F).
Constructed from heat stabilized chromium bearing steel and equipped with double metal shields (2Z), the bearing provides protection against solid contaminants such as dust and debris. The design is optimized for dry running operation, eliminating the need for lubrication in high heat industrial systems.
This bearing is commonly used in industrial fans, electric motors, furnaces, dryers, pumps, and compressors, where consistent rotation and thermal stability are required.

The VA228 specification allows the bearing to operate at temperatures up to 350°C, making it suitable for heat intensive industrial processes.
The 2Z metal shields protect internal components from dust, debris, and solid contaminants while allowing the bearing to operate in high heat conditions.
The bearing rings and rolling elements are manufactured from high quality chromium steel that has been heat stabilized for thermal durability.
This bearing is pre treated for lubrication free operation, eliminating the need for grease in environments where lubricants degrade under extreme heat.
The bearing follows standard metric sizing for easy replacement in existing housings and shaft assemblies.

Deep groove ball bearings support radial loads and moderate axial loads while maintaining low friction rotation.
Inside the bearing:
Steel balls roll between inner and outer raceways.
The cage maintains spacing between the rolling elements.
Rotation occurs with minimal friction and consistent load distribution.
The heat stabilized design allows these components to maintain dimensional stability under elevated temperatures.
Used in high temperature fan motors and exhaust systems where continuous rotation occurs near heat sources.
Installed in kiln conveyors, furnace rollers, and heat processing systems.
Suitable for pump systems that operate in high temperature or dry running conditions.
Used in drying rollers and rotating shafts exposed to elevated temperatures.
The VA228 bearing is designed for dry running operation and should not be greased during installation.
Ensure proper shaft and housing tolerances to prevent excessive vibration or misalignment.
Although designed for high temperatures, proper thermal management within machinery is recommended.
Maintains performance and structural stability in environments reaching 350°C.
Dry running design eliminates lubrication maintenance.
Metal shields protect internal components from dust and debris.
Manufactured to SKF dimensional and quality standards for reliable industrial performance.
Yes. The VA228 specification allows continuous operation at temperatures up to 350°C, provided installation conditions and loads are within recommended limits.
No. The bearing is designed for lubrication free operation and grease should not be applied.
The metal shields protect the bearing interior from solid contaminants while allowing the bearing to operate in high temperature environments.
