6002/C4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6002/C4 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for radial load applications requiring high precision and reliability. This metric bearing features an open design and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent performance. A key characteristic is its enhanced radial internal clearance (C4), which makes it particularly suitable for applications involving thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Constructed entirely from chrome steel, it offers excellent durability and a broad operating temperature range.
6002/C4 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6002 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 15mm bore, 32mm OD, and 9mm width. |
| /C4 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications with shaft or housing misalignment, high-speed operation, or significant temperature gradients. |
6002/C4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized for Radial Loads: The deep groove raceway and single row design are engineered to efficiently support high radial loads, with a dynamic load rating of 1259 lbf.
- C4 Internal Clearance: The enhanced radial clearance accommodates thermal expansion, prevents preload under operating conditions, and reduces friction and heat generation, contributing to stable performance.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 23,000 rpm, this bearing is suitable for demanding high-speed applications. The chrome steel cage ensures integrity at elevated rotational velocities.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) standards, it guarantees tight dimensional control and running accuracy for smooth and reliable operation.
- Versatile Material & Compliance: All components are made from chrome steel (AISI 52100), providing high hardness and wear resistance. The bearing is ROHS and REACH compliant.
