The SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 is a high-quality Deep Groove Radial Ball bearing designed for exceptional performance and reliability in demanding applications. Engineered by SKF, one of the most reputable bearing manufacturers worldwide, the 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing offers outstanding durability, precision, and efficiency, making it a popular choice across industries. The bearing’s dimensions are 30x62x16mm.
The SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing features metal shields on both sides to protect against contamination such as dust and debris, ensuring extended service life and reliable operation.
The SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing is manufactured with a larger internal clearance (C4), allowing it to accommodate higher operating temperatures, making it ideal for high-speed applications.
Pre-lubricated with SKF's advanced LHT23 grease, the SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing ensures superior lubrication under extreme temperature conditions, reducing maintenance requirements. This grease has a lithium thickener, consistency 2 to 3 to the NLGI Scale, suitable for a temperature range of -50°C to +140°C (-58°F to 284°F).
Bearing designations, such as 6206-2Z/C4LHT23, provide detailed information about its size, design, and specific features. Below is a detailed breakdown for the SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing.
This is known as the basic designation and gives foundational information about the bearing type and size. Here, the 62 designates this as a deep groove ball bearing in ISO dimensional series 2 - the series simply denotes the outer diameter and width independent from the inside diameter. The last two digits, 04, indicate the inside diameter (or bore size) of the bearing, in this case 30mm.
The 2Z element of the SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing indicates the bearing has metal shields on both sides. These shields are designed to protect the bearing from dust and debris while retaining the lubricant inside, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal maintenance.
The C4 part of the SKF 6206-2Z/C4LHT23 bearing denotes the bearing's internal clearance, which is larger than standard clearances. Bearings with C4 clearance are typically used in applications with high operating temperatures, as the extra clearance allows for thermal expansion.
The LHT23 refers to the bearing's lubrication and special grease. This designation indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with a high-temperature, long-life grease, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments such as electric motors or industrial machinery. This grease has a lithium thickener, consistency 2 to 3 to the NLGI Scale, suitable for a temperature range of -50°C to +140°C (-58°F to 284°F).

Below are the description and part numbers to the additional spare parts you can purchase with your product.
There are a few different ways in which you can identify which bearing you require for your machine,
Almost all bearings that we supply will be stamped with the bearing reference on the side,
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
| On the Inner Race | On the Outer Race | On the Metal Shield | On the Rubber Seal |
These part numbers sometime are not the easiest to read therefore the bearing might require cleaning with an oily rag, or you may need a magnifying glass to see what the part number is.
Once you have found the part number then type that into our search box at the top of the page or use the search box below and you should find the bearing you are looking for.
If you cannot find the part number or the bearing is worn or damaged, you will need to measure the bearing to figure out which part you need. To do this you will need to use a Vernier caliper, and you will need to get three dimensions.

| Inside Diameter | Outside Diameter | Width |
These three measurements will give you the dimensions that you will need to find the bearing you are searching for. Once you have the dimension sizes, type it into our search box in the following order; Inside Diameter, Outside Diameter, and width and our search engine will feed back the products that fit those dimensions.

Yes. Kluber, Shell, and Molykote offer NSF H1 food-grade lubricants suitable for use in food manufacturing industry. Also, many of the brands we sell offer biodegradable or low-toxicity options designed for environmentally sensitive applications.

We stock a full range of bearing maintenance tools including pullers, induction heaters, mounting and dismounting tools, alignment tools, and infrared thermometers. These tools are designed to ensure safe handling and damage-free installation or removal of bearings. Our product pages include detailed specs to help match tools to your specific requirements.
Shaft misalignment is one of the leading causes of premature bearing failure— especially in heavy-duty equipment. Even slight misalignment can reduce bearing life by over 50%, leading to increased wear, vibration, heat generation, leading to unexpected downtime. To prevent this use shaft alignment tools to ensure shafts are correctly aligned during installation or maintenance. Laser alignment systems are especially effective for high-accuracy setups. Investing in proper alignment solutions not only extends bearing life but also improves equipment efficiency and reduces long- term maintenance costs.
This question normally comes down to the environment the bearings are being used it. For example, if the bearing is being used in a moist environment then you’d choose rubber or metal as the metal is more likely to rust.
If the environment is very contaminated, then you might choose a rubber seal to keep the contaminants from damaging the inside of the bearing.
Your decision could also come down to the temperature the bearing needs to work to or the speeds it needs to reach.
