Hex Bore vs Round Bore Agricultural Bearings: What Buyers Must Check

Views: 0     Author: YWS Bearing Editorial Team     Publish Time: 2026-11-09      Origin: FKL official 206KRRB6 specifications; YWS category and enquiry links

Quick answer: Hex-bore and round-bore agricultural bearings are identified by different inner-bore geometry. For a hex bore, record the across-flats size and, if available, the corner-to-corner diagonal; for a round bore, record the diameter. Do not compare these numbers as if they were the same measurement. Check the complete model, outside diameter, widths, seals and shaft drawing before replacing a bearing.

Hex across-flats is not round-bore diameter

A hexagonal opening is normally described by the distance across two opposite flat faces. Its diagonal is larger. A round bore is measured as a circular diameter. If an old agricultural bearing is identified only by “1 inch” or a photo, ask whether that number means nominal shaft size, hex across-flats, diagonal, or a separate catalogue bore value.

FKL 206KRRB6: manufacturer-listed example

FKL's product page distinguishes the 206KRRB6 hexagonal bore, shaft size and bore diameter, and separately lists its other boundary dimensions. These are model-specific catalog references, not a universal definition for every brand or suffix.

FKL 206KRRB6 item

FKL listed value

Buyer check

Hexagonal bore across flats (a)

1.001 in / 25.43 mm

Confirm actual shaft flat-to-flat measurement

Shaft size

1 in

Confirm what the mating assembly calls nominal shaft size

Hexagonal diagonal (a1)

1.152 in / 29.26 mm

Do not substitute the diagonal for across-flats

Bore diameter listed (d)

1.02 in / 26 mm

Keep the manufacturer's separate field label; request its drawing if unclear

Outside diameter D

2.4409 in / 62 mm

Measure housing envelope

Inner ring width B / outer ring width C

0.945 in / 24 mm; 0.63 in / 16 mm

Check the correct ring and shoulder spacing

How to specify it

Bore shape

Hex, round, splined or another form; photograph the end view

Hex geometry

Across-flats value and diagonal separately, with units

Other dimensions

Outside diameter and inner/outer ring widths as shown on the drawing

Model and seal

Complete manufacturer model and seal/shield suffix; do not infer from appearance

Application

Machine model, shaft drawing, load direction, speed, contamination and moisture

Approval

Compare the proposed replacement drawing and list any deviations

Frequently asked questions

Can a 26 mm round bore replace a 1-inch hex bore?

Not by dimension alone. The shape and contact geometry differ, and the FKL page itself reports separate hexagonal bore, shaft-size and bore-diameter fields for its 206KRRB6 example. Confirm the shaft and bearing drawing together.

Is the hex diagonal the same as the shaft size?

No. It is a different measurement across opposite corners. Report which measurement you took and provide an end-view photo or drawing.

Do cross-reference numbers prove that another brand is interchangeable?

No. They are catalogue leads. Confirm the complete dimensions, seal, locking arrangement and application requirements with the offered manufacturer's drawing.

Request a quotation

Send the old model marking, end-view and side photos, measured across-flats or round-bore diameter, outside diameter, ring widths, machine model, quantity and destination. See the YWS bearing RFQ checklist, browse YWS track roller bearings, or contact YWS Bearing / request a quote with the drawing for confirmation.
