The 6906 is a thin-section deep groove ball bearing with a 30 mm bore, a 47 mm outside diameter and a width of 9 mm. The 69 series is a thin-section design: for the same shaft it is much slimmer than the 60 series, which saves space in compact assemblies.
Its last two digits, 06, multiplied by 5 give the 30 mm bore. A full designation such as 6906-2RS-C3 means a 6906 with rubber seals on both sides and C3 internal clearance, the usual choice for electric motors.
Sharing the same 30 mm bore are the 6006 (30 × 55 × 13 mm), the 6206 (30 × 62 × 16 mm), the 6306 (30 × 72 × 19 mm) and the 6806 (30 × 42 × 7 mm). They all fit a 30 mm shaft, but each needs a different housing, so check the outside diameter and width before you order.
Why 6906 prices vary
- Genuine or copy: fakes sell far below the real price and fail early. We sell only genuine bearings.
- Brand and origin: each maker, and each country of manufacture, is priced differently.
- Version: sealed, shielded, C3, stainless and low-noise versions cost more than the open bearing.
- Quantity: bulk and repeat orders are priced lower.

Other bearings for a 30 mm shaft
Same bore, different series: a bigger bearing carries more load but needs a bigger housing.
| Bearing | Size (mm) | Dynamic load C |
|---|---|---|
| 6906 | 30 × 47 × 9 | 7.28 kN |
| 6006 | 30 × 55 × 13 | 13.8 kN |
| 6206 | 30 × 62 × 16 | 20.3 kN |
| 6306 | 30 × 72 × 19 | 29.6 kN |
On a 30 mm shaft, the 6006 carries 90% more than the 6906, in a housing 8 mm larger across.
6906 variants
Every 6906 has the same outside dimensions. What changes is how it is sealed, its internal clearance and its material:
- 6906 (open): no shields or seals. For gearboxes and machines where oil or grease reaches the bearing.
- 6906 ZZ / 2Z: metal shields on both sides, greased for life. For clean, fast-running motors and fans.
- 6906 2RS: rubber seals on both sides (DDU at NSK, LLU at NTN). Better against dust and moisture.
- 6906 C3: internal clearance greater than normal, combined with any of the above (e.g. 6906-2RS-C3). The usual choice for electric motors.
- S6906 / SS6906: stainless steel for wet or corrosive conditions, usually marked with an S or SS prefix (SKF uses W). Supplied on request.

Is your 6906 genuine?
Counterfeit bearings are sold in many sizes and brands, including the 6906. Check that the marking on the ring matches the box exactly, that the brand’s own suffix style is used, and be wary of prices far below the market. How to spot a fake bearing.

Questions
6906 bearing: frequently asked
What size is a 6906 bearing?
A 6906 measures 30 mm bore × 47 mm outside diameter × 9 mm width. The size is the same in every brand and seal type.
What is the SKF, FAG or NSK equivalent of 6906 2RS C3?
NSK 6906DDUC3, NTN 6906LLUC3 and KOYO 6906-2RS C3. All are the same 30 × 47 × 9 mm size with rubber seals on both sides and C3 clearance.
Can I use a 6006 instead of a 6906?
Not without changing the housing. Both have a 30 mm bore, but the 6006 is 55 mm across and 13 mm wide, against 47 × 9 mm for the 6906.
What load can a 6906 bearing carry?
SKF rates the open 61906 (its number for the 6906) at a dynamic load rating (C) of 7.28 kN and a static load rating (C0) of 4.55 kN, with a limiting speed of 19,000 r/min. Other brands publish similar figures. How much load it can carry in service also depends on speed, lubrication and the life you need.
