6021 NR Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6021 NR is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for superior performance in demanding industrial applications. This metric bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and offers high operational reliability. A key distinguishing feature is its snap ring on the outer ring, which simplifies axial location within a housing, making installation more efficient and secure. Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls, and a stainless steel cage, it provides excellent durability and consistent operation within a wide temperature range.
Model Code Breakdown
- 60: Indicates a deep groove ball bearing series with a medium cross-section.
- 21: Specifies the bore diameter. The calculation is 21 x 5 = 105 mm.
- NR: Signifies that the bearing is equipped with a snap ring (a locating snap ring groove) on its outer ring. This feature aids in axial positioning and reduces housing design complexity.
- Open seal type, suitable for environments where separate lubrication systems are used.
- P0 tolerance class (Normal), which is a standard grade for general applications.
- CN radial internal clearance (Normal group).
6021 NR Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Snap Ring for Easy Installation and Location: The integrated snap ring on the outer diameter allows for secure axial location, eliminating the need for complex housing shoulders and simplifying assembly and disassembly processes.
- High Load Capacity: With a dynamic load rating of 17,108 lbf and a static load rating of 14,725 lbf, this bearing is engineered to handle significant radial loads, ensuring long service life in strenuous conditions.
- Robust Construction: The combination of chrome steel for rings and balls provides high hardness and wear resistance, while the stainless steel cage offers superior corrosion resistance and cage integrity, contributing to stable operation at the limiting speed of 5,300 rpm.
- Precision and Reliability: Manufactured to P0 tolerance with CN radial clearance, it delivers consistent performance for a wide range of general industrial applications.
