SKF 6407/C3 Deep Groove Ball Bearing with Snap Ring Groove

The SKF 6407/C3 is a high-quality single-row deep groove ball bearing designed for applications requiring high-speed operation and reliable performance under radial loads. Manufactured by SKF, a global leader in bearing technology, this model features a 35 mm bore diameter, 100 mm outside diameter, and 25 mm width, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial equipment such as electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, and conveyor systems. The C3 designation indicates greater-than-normal radial internal clearance, which allows for thermal expansion and reduces the risk of seizure in high-temperature environments or with slight misalignments. It includes a snap ring groove on the outer ring for easy axial location in housings. Key benefits include excellent durability, low friction, and high load-carrying capacity, with a basic dynamic load rating of 55.3 kN and static load rating of 31 kN. Compared to similar products from competitors like Timken or NSK, the SKF 6407/C3 offers superior sealing options and longer service life due to advanced steel composition and precision manufacturing. Drawbacks may include higher cost for premium quality and the need for proper lubrication to maintain performance. This bearing is ideal for both OEM and maintenance applications in manufacturing, automotive, and agricultural sectors, providing reduced downtime and enhanced efficiency. Based on the provided images, the bearing appears new, still in original packaging with no visible wear, and includes faceplate details confirming the model and specifications.
