6004-2RS1/VM045 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004-2RS1/VM045 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high performance and reliability in demanding applications. This sealed bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and is characterized by its metric dimensions, high-quality chrome steel construction, and precision manufacturing to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards. Its key advantages include robust construction for consistent operation, a broad operating temperature range, and compliance with major environmental directives, making it a versatile and dependable choice for industrial machinery.
6004-2RS1/VM045 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Interpretation | Technical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6004 | Basic Bearing Number | Denotes a metric, single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 42mm OD, and 12mm width. |
| 2RS1 | Seal Type | Indicates the bearing is fitted with contact seals on both sides. This provides superior protection against contamination and retains lubricant, enhancing service life in dirty environments. |
| VM045 | Lubrication Code | Specifies the type of high-performance grease pre-packed in the bearing. This grease is formulated for a wide temperature range and contributes to the bearing's limiting speed of 17,000 rpm. |
6004-2RS1/VM045 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and continuous shoulder design enable efficient handling of radial loads, with a dynamic load rating of 2113 lbf and a static load rating of 1135 lbf.
- Superior Sealing & Contamination Resistance: The 2RS1 contact seals are highly effective at excluding contaminants like dust and moisture, making the bearing suitable for harsh operating conditions and contributing to its long, maintenance-free service life.
- Optimized for Speed and Temperature: The combination of a chrome steel cage, precision-ground chrome steel components, and specialized VM045 grease allows for a high limiting speed and stable operation across a temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
- Precision and Consistency: Manufactured to ABEC 1 precision class with a standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures smooth, low-vibration, and reliable performance in a wide array of applications.
