6004-Z/C3MTVK016 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6004-Z/C3MTVK016 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. Engineered to primarily handle radial loads, this metric bearing features a shielded design for contaminant protection. Its key advantages include a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm and an optimized C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion considerations. Manufactured from high-grade chrome steel for all core components, it offers excellent durability and reliable operation across a wide temperature range.
6004-Z/C3MTVK016 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| -Z | Shielded on one side | Provides effective protection against solid contaminants while allowing for high-speed operation. |
| /C3 | Greater than normal radial internal clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in applications with high operating temperatures or heavy loads, preventing premature failure. |
| MTVK016 | Manufacturer-specific designation | Indicates specific manufacturing process or material batch, ensuring consistent quality and traceability. |
6004-Z/C3MTVK016 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and continuous shoulder design provide excellent stability and high radial load capacity.
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of a precision-ground chrome steel cage and optimized internal geometry enables a high limiting speed of 17,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 radial clearance is engineered for applications where shaft and housing fits or operational heat may cause expansion, ensuring smooth running and extended service life.
- Shielded Protection: The single metal shield (-Z) effectively retains pre-lubrication and excludes larger contaminants, enhancing operational reliability in various environments.
- Precision Manufacturing: Conforms to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, guaranteeing dimensional accuracy and consistent performance for general precision applications.
