6004 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004 single row deep groove ball bearing represents a fundamental precision bearing solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, this open-type bearing is characterized by its compact design, high operational reliability, and excellent high-speed capabilities. Manufactured to ABEC-1 tolerance class, it ensures consistent performance and is an ideal choice for applications demanding cost-effective precision and durability.
6004 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6004 | Standard designation for a metric single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 42mm OD, and 12mm width. |
| Open | The bearing has no integral seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and facilitating custom lubrication schemes. |
| ABEC-1 | Specifies the precision tolerance class, defining tight control over bore, OD, and width dimensions for reliable operation. |
| CN | Indicates the standard radial internal clearance for normal operating conditions. |
6004 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Raceway Geometry: The deep groove raceways on both inner and outer rings enable smooth operation and efficient handling of radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of an open design, a lightweight stainless steel cage, and precision manufacturing allows for a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding high-speed applications.
- Robust Material Construction: Components made from chrome steel provide high hardness, wear resistance, and a long service life under dynamic stresses.
- Precision & Reliability: Conformance to ABEC-1 tolerances ensures dimensional accuracy and running precision, contributing to reduced vibration and consistent performance.
