Timken 206W Collectible Bearing

The Timken 206W is a new radial ball bearing presented as a collectible item for enthusiasts of industrial components. It carries the industry number 6206 and features an open closure design with a 30 mm bore diameter.

Upgrade from worn 6206 units

This bearing replaces a damaged or worn 6206 series unit where the alloy steel rings and steel cage have reached their service limit. The jump is worth it when the original component shows excess play, noise, or reduced dynamic radial load capacity of 68 900 N.

Simple press-fit installation

Installation follows standard press-fit practice for a 30 mm bore with a +0/-0.010 mm tolerance onto a prepared shaft. What usually goes wrong is misalignment during seating or contamination entering the open closure before lubrication with a compatible grease such as Quaker Ferrocote.

Questions about this item

What shaft diameter does the 30 mm bore fit?

The 30 mm bore with a +0/-0.010 mm tolerance fits a standard 30 mm shaft for a press or slip fit.

How is the open 6206 bearing installed, and what step is often missed?

Press the bearing onto the shaft using a sleeve that contacts only the inner ring, then pack the open cages with Quaker Ferrocote grease before sealing the housing.

When will the alloy-steel balls and steel cage need replacement?

Replace the bearing when vibration or heat indicates the dynamic radial load capacity of 68,900 N can no longer be sustained.
