6004-2Z/C3LT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004-2Z/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing excels in handling primarily radial loads and offers high operational reliability. Its key advantages include a C3 radial internal clearance for thermal expansion management, making it suitable for applications with elevated operating temperatures or where interference fits are used. The integral shields protect against contamination, enhancing service life and enabling maintenance-free operation in many environments.
6004-2Z/C3LT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6004 | Standard bearing series designation, indicating a 20mm bore, 42mm OD, and 12mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions for compatibility and interchangeability. |
| 2Z | Bearing is equipped with shields on both sides. | Provides effective protection against solid contaminants, retaining lubricant and extending bearing life. Enables maintenance-free operation in many applications. |
| C3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than the Normal (CN) group. | Accommodates thermal expansion from high speeds or interference fits, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload. |
6004-2Z/C3LT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, ensuring high strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
- Optimized Load Capacity: The single row deep groove raceway geometry is engineered to support significant radial dynamic load ratings (2113 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: With a limiting speed of 17,000 rpm, it is suitable for a wide range of high-speed applications. The pressed steel cage contributes to stable operation at high rotational velocities.
- Sealed & Protected: The non-contact 2Z shields effectively seal the bearing, protecting the internal components from dust and debris while minimizing friction.
- Precision & Stability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, ensuring consistent performance and reliable operation in general industrial applications.
