2204 C/3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 2204 C/3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high precision and reliable performance. This sealed bearing features a compact design that enables it to accommodate combined loads—simultaneously handling significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls, and a nylon cage, it delivers excellent durability and smooth operation. Pre-lubricated and sealed for life, the 2204 C/3 offers maintenance-free operation and is ideal for high-speed applications, with a limiting speed of 10,000 rpm.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2204 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating a metric double row angular contact ball bearing with a 20 mm bore diameter. |
| C | Specifies a 15° contact angle, optimized for supporting higher axial loads. |
| 3 | Indicates the radial internal clearance group is C3, providing greater internal clearance than normal for applications with thermal expansion or interference fits. |
2204 C/3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row design significantly increases rigidity and enables the bearing to support substantial combined radial and axial loads.
- Optimized for Speed: The lightweight nylon cage reduces centrifugal forces, contributing to a high limiting speed of 10,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Sealed and Pre-Lubricated: Integrated seals protect against contamination and retain lubricant, ensuring long service life and maintenance-free operation in demanding environments.
- Precision Dimensions: Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and ease of installation in precision applications.
