SKF 6226/C3 is a single‑row deep groove ball bearing designed for radial loads in a wide range of machinery. It is an open bearing (no shields or seals) with a bore of 130 mm, an outer diameter of 230 mm, and a width of 40 mm, matching the 6226 size. The “C3” designation indicates a greater‑than‑normal internal clearance, allowing for thermal expansion and higher‑speed service in appropriate applications. The bearing’s basic dynamic load rating is 35,070 lbf (approximately 156 kN) and its basic static load rating is about 29,675 lbf (approximately 132 kN), reflecting its capability to handle substantial radial loads within a compact envelope.
