2204C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 2204C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high rigidity and reliable performance under combined loads. Its compact bearing dimensions (20mm bore, 47mm OD, 18mm width) make it ideal for space-constrained installations. This precision bearing features sealed construction with pre-lubrication, enabling immediate operation while providing protection against contamination. The C3 radial internal clearance makes it suitable for applications with thermal expansion considerations.
2204C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Performance Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 2204 | Basic bearing designation (20mm bore, 47mm OD) | Standard metric dimensions for easy integration |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal | Accommodates thermal expansion in operating conditions |
| Sealed | Integrated sealing protection | Contamination resistance and lubricant retention |
2204C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Rigidity Design: The double row construction provides superior stiffness compared to single row bearings, making it ideal for applications requiring precise shaft positioning and minimal deflection under load.
Enhanced Load Capacity: With a radial dynamic load rating of 2858 lbf and static load rating of 765 lbf, this bearing effectively handles combined radial and axial loads in both directions.
Optimized Performance: The nylon cage ensures smooth operation at the limiting speed of 10,000 rpm, while the pre-lubrication with quality grease provides immediate startup capability and extended service life.
Maintenance-Free Operation: The sealed design with chrome steel components and factory-applied lubrication creates a closed system that requires no additional maintenance during normal operation.
2204C3 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: Ideal for small to medium-sized motors requiring high-speed capability and reliable sealed operation
- Industrial Gearboxes: Suitable for compact gear reducers where space constraints demand high load capacity in minimal dimensions
- Material Handling Equipment: Perfect for conveyor systems, pulley assemblies, and transfer mechanisms
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in implement drives and auxiliary systems where sealed protection is essential
- Industrial Fans & Blowers: Appropriate for fan shaft support in HVAC and industrial ventilation systems
