6305 Bearing Dimensions and SKF Specifications
25 × 62 × 17 mm — single-row deep groove ball bearing
SKF Open 6305 Specifications
| Property | SKF catalog value |
|---|---|
| Bore diameter (d) | 25 mm |
| Outside diameter (D) | 62 mm |
| Width (B) | 17 mm |
| Basic dynamic load rating (C) | 23.4 kN |
| Basic static load rating (C0) | 11.6 kN |
| Reference speed | 24,000 r/min |
| Limiting speed | 16,000 r/min |
These values apply to the SKF open 6305 designation in the cited catalog. Reference speed and limiting speed are separate measures. Neither is a universal application speed recommendation. Sealed, shielded and special internal designs require their own specifications.

Before Selecting a Replacement
Record the complete marking on the original bearing. Verify bore, outside diameter and width, then compare seals or shields, internal clearance, cage, tolerances, lubrication and load and speed requirements against the exact manufacturer variant and equipment specification.
C3 describes internal clearance; it is not a quality grade. Closure suffixes differ between manufacturers. Do not infer the complete configuration from the base number alone.
Preserve prefixes, suffixes, slashes and hyphens when searching. Missing information remains unknown until sourced.
