6000-2Z/C3LT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6000-2Z/C3LT is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for reliable performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing features a C3 radial internal clearance and is pre-lubricated for long-term operation. Its design excels at handling radial loads efficiently while offering moderate axial load capacity. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it provides a robust and cost-effective solution for general industrial use where consistent performance is critical.
6000-2Z/C3LT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Performance Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 2Z | Non-contact steel shields on both sides | Provides effective contamination protection while maintaining low friction and high-speed capability |
| C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in applications with temperature variations or interference fits |
| LT | Low temperature grease | Enables reliable operation across the specified temperature range from -30°C to 120°C |
6000-2Z/C3LT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
This bearing's construction delivers distinct performance advantages:
- Robust Load Capacity: The single row deep groove design with chrome steel components provides a dynamic load rating of 1023 lbf and static load rating of 438 lbf, ensuring reliable operation under significant radial stresses
- Optimized Clearance: The C3 radial internal clearance accommodates thermal expansion and interference fits, reducing the risk of premature failure in applications with temperature fluctuations
- Enhanced Contamination Resistance: Both-sided steel shields (2Z designation) protect the bearing interior from particulate contamination while maintaining low operating torque
- Pre-lubricated Efficiency: Factory-applied low temperature grease (LT) ensures immediate operation and reduces maintenance requirements across the specified temperature spectrum
6000-2Z/C3LT Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6000-2Z/C3LT finds extensive use across multiple industries, including:
- Electric Motors: Small to medium-sized motors requiring reliable, maintenance-free operation
- Industrial Gearboxes: Power transmission systems where consistent performance under radial loads is essential
- Material Handling Equipment: Conveyor systems, pulleys, and rollers in manufacturing and distribution facilities
- Agricultural Machinery: Implement drives and auxiliary systems operating in challenging environmental conditions
- General Industrial Machinery: Pumps, compressors, and fans where the combination of shielded protection and C3 clearance provides operational reliability
