6202-2RSL/C3GJN Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6202-2RSL/C3GJN is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high reliability and long service life in demanding applications. Its key advantage lies in its sealed construction (2RSL), which provides excellent protection against contaminant ingress, making it suitable for environments where cleanliness is critical. This bearing is engineered to handle primarily radial loads and is characterized by its standard C3 radial internal clearance, which accommodates thermal expansion in applications with higher operating temperatures or where fits result in a reduction of internal clearance. Its compact dimensions (15mm bore, 35mm OD, 11mm width) and robust chrome steel construction make it a versatile and durable choice for a wide range of industrial machinery.
Model Code Breakdown
- 6202: Basic model number denoting a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 15mm bore and 35mm outside diameter.
- 2RSL: Designates contact seals on both sides. The "RSL" suffix typically indicates low-friction, synthetic rubber seals that provide effective protection while minimizing torque.
- C3: Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications involving thermal expansion, interference fits, or where misalignment might be a concern.
- GJN: Specifies the grease type and filling quantity. In this case, the bearing is pre-lubricated with a specific, high-quality grease suitable for the stated temperature range.
6202-2RSL/C3GJN Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Sealed for Protection and Longevity: The double-sided contact seals (2RSL) effectively shield the bearing's internals from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. This significantly extends the bearing's operational life and enables its use in washdown environments or other challenging conditions, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 radial clearance provides operational stability in applications where thermal gradients are present or where tight shaft and housing fits are used. This helps prevent premature failure due to excessive preload and ensures smooth running.
Robust Material Construction: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel, including the rings, balls, and cage, this bearing offers high load capacity and durability. The radial dynamic load rating of 1812 lbf and static load rating of 843 lbf confirm its ability to handle significant radial forces.
Ready-to-Install Convenience: Pre-lubricated with a specialized grease (GJN), the bearing is delivered ready for immediate installation, simplifying the assembly process and ensuring optimal performance from the first rotation.
6202-2RSL/C3GJN Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6202-2RSL/C3GJN is ideally suited for a broad spectrum of applications requiring reliable, sealed bearing performance. Common uses include:
- Electric Motors (especially for fans, blowers, and small industrial motors)
- Gearboxes and Transmissions
- Material Handling Equipment (conveyors, pulleys)
- Agricultural Machinery
- Food and Beverage Processing Equipment (where seals prevent contamination)
- Pumps and Compressors
