6000-2Z/C4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6000-2Z/C4 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance industrial applications. Engineered with shielded protection on both sides, this bearing offers reliable operation in contaminated environments while maintaining its inherent capability to handle significant radial loads. Its metric dimensions (10mm bore × 26mm OD × 8mm width) make it ideal for compact designs requiring precision and durability. The bearing features ABEC 1 precision and C4 radial clearance, ensuring optimal performance under varying thermal conditions and moderate operating speeds up to 31,000 rpm.
Model Code Detailed Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Performance Implication |
|---|---|---|
| 6000 | Basic bearing series designation | Standard deep groove ball bearing with 10mm bore diameter |
| 2Z | Double-sided steel shields | Effective contamination protection while maintaining low friction |
| C4 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in high-temperature applications |
6000-2Z/C4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry enables efficient distribution of radial loads (dynamic: 1023 lbf, static: 438 lbf), making it suitable for applications with substantial radial forces.
Enhanced Contamination Resistance: Both sides feature steel shields (2Z) that protect the bearing interior from dust and debris while minimizing friction compared to contact seals, contributing to the high limiting speed of 31,000 rpm.
Thermal Stability: The C4 radial clearance provides additional internal space to accommodate thermal expansion, ensuring consistent performance across the operating temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance standards with chrome steel construction throughout (rings, balls, and cage), delivering reliable operation and extended service life.
6000-2Z/C4 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: Small to medium-sized motors requiring shielded protection and moderate speed capability
- Power Tools: Drills, grinders, and other handheld equipment where contamination resistance is critical
- Industrial Fans & Blowers: Applications demanding reliable operation at moderate speeds with radial load support
- Office Automation Equipment: Printers, scanners, and copiers requiring precision bearings with contamination protection
- Medical Devices: Small motor applications in medical equipment where reliability and cleanliness are essential
