6024-2Z/VK298 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6024-2Z/VK298 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. Engineered with metric dimensions and manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers a reliable solution for handling primarily radial loads. A key feature is its integral shielded design (2Z), which provides effective protection against contaminant ingress while being pre-lubricated with VK298 grease, ensuring long-term, maintenance-free operation within a wide temperature range. This combination makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring durability, consistent performance, and simplified service.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance & Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| 6024 | Basic bearing designation indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 120 mm bore, 180 mm OD, and 28 mm width. | Defines the standard bearing dimensions and core type. |
| 2Z | Signifies bearings with shields on both sides. | Offers superior protection against dust and other particulate contaminants, enhancing bearing life and reliability. |
| /VK298 | Identifies the specific high-performance grease used for pre-lubrication. | Enables maintenance-free operation and provides stable lubrication across the specified temperature range (-30° to 120 °C). |
6024-2Z/VK298 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing delivers high strength and durability. With a radial dynamic load rating of 19,873 lbf and a static load rating of 17,985 lbf, it is built to handle significant radial forces in continuous operation.
- Optimized for Contaminated Environments: The double-shielded (2Z) design effectively seals the bearing interior, protecting the precision-ground components and grease from contaminants. This is critical for maintaining performance and extending service life in harsh industrial settings.
- Ready-to-Install & Maintenance-Free: Pre-lubricated with VK298 grease, the bearing arrives ready for installation, eliminating the need for initial lubrication. This feature, combined with the shields, ensures long-term, reliable operation without requiring re-lubrication, reducing total cost of ownership.
- Precision & Consistency: Conforming to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance class and standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing provides consistent running accuracy and smooth operation, making it suitable for a wide array of general industrial applications.
6024-2Z/VK298 Bearing Typical Application Areas
