6004 NR Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004 NR is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance radial load applications. Its defining feature is the integral snap ring groove and fitted snap ring on the outer ring, which facilitates secure and space-saving axial location within a housing. Manufactured with precision P0 tolerance and a standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing offers reliable operation and consistent performance. Constructed from chrome steel rings and balls with a stainless steel cage, it provides excellent durability and is suitable for a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6004 | The basic bearing designation, indicating a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20 mm bore, 42 mm OD, and 12 mm width. |
| NR | Signifies that the bearing has a snap ring groove and is supplied with a snap ring fitted on the outer ring. This feature simplifies assembly and provides positive axial location. |
| (No Seal Suffix) | The open (unsealed) design allows for higher limiting speeds and is intended for applications where external sealing is provided or re-lubrication is required. |
6004 NR Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Snap Ring Locating Feature: The fitted snap ring (outer diameter: 46.3 mm) acts as a positive stop against the housing, eliminating the need for complex shoulder machining and enabling compact, lightweight bearing arrangements.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design and stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 24,000 rpm, making it suitable for demanding rotational applications.
- Robust Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 2237 lbf and a static load rating of 1124 lbf, this bearing is designed to handle significant radial loads reliably.
- Precision and Reliability: Built to P0 tolerance class with tight dimensional control on the bore diameter and outside diameter, ensuring smooth operation and ease of installation.
