6004-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004-2Z/C3GWP is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing excels in handling significant radial loads while offering protection against contaminant ingress. Its key advantages include a generous C3 radial internal clearance for thermal expansion management in applications with elevated operating temperatures, and a GWP lubricant filling that ensures reliable operation across a wide temperature range. This combination makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring high reliability and durability.
6004-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6004 | Standard bearing series with 20mm bore, 42mm OD, 12mm width. | Standardized dimensions for easy interchangeability. |
| 2Z | Bearing with shielded seals on both sides. | Protects against contamination while allowing high-speed operation. |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than normal. | Accommodates thermal expansion, ideal for high-temperature applications. |
| GWP | Pre-lubricated with a high-temperature grease. | Ensures long-term, maintenance-free operation from -30°C to 120°C. |
6004-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Optimized for Radial Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is precision-engineered to support high radial dynamic load ratings of 2113 lbf, making it suitable for applications with significant radial forces.
Enhanced Operational Reliability: The combination of double-shielded (2Z) design and a chrome steel cage provides effective protection against contaminants and ensures cage integrity at the limiting speed of 17,000 rpm.
Thermal Stability with C3 Clearance: The C3 radial internal clearance is a critical feature that prevents preload and binding in applications where operational heat causes expansion of the bearing and housing, ensuring smooth rotation and extended service life.
Maintenance-Free Longevity: Pre-lubricated with GWP grease, this bearing is ready for immediate use and designed for long-term operation without re-lubrication, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
