6202/C3VG043 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6202/C3VG043 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance applications requiring reliable radial load capacity. This metric bearing features an open design and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, ensuring consistent quality and smooth operation. A key characteristic is its specified C3 radial internal clearance, making it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used, providing operational stability across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 120°C. Its robust construction from chrome steel offers excellent durability.
6202/C3VG043 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6202 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 15mm bore, 35mm OD, and 11mm width. |
| /C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving shaft expansion or high operational temperatures. |
| VG043 | Specifies the cage type and design. In this context, it refers to a pressed steel cage, which is lightweight and facilitates high-speed operation. |
6202/C3VG043 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized for Radial Loads: The deep groove raceway and single row design are engineered to efficiently support significant radial dynamic load ratings (1812 lbf) and radial static load ratings (843 lbf).
- High-Speed Capability: The combination of the precision-ground chrome steel components and the lightweight steel cage (VG043) enables a high limiting speed of 20,000 rpm, making it a capable high-speed bearing.
- Operational Flexibility with C3 Clearance: The C3 internal clearance provides tolerance for thermal expansion in demanding environments, preventing preload and potential seizure, thereby enhancing bearing life and reliability.
- Open Design for Custom Lubrication: As an open bearing supplied without lubrication, it offers flexibility for the user to apply a specific lubricant best suited for the application's speed, temperature, and environmental conditions.
6202/C3VG043 Bearing Typical Application Areas
The 6202/C3VG043 is a versatile component found in a wide array of industrial machinery and equipment, including:
- Electric Motors and Small Gearboxes
- Industrial Fans and Blowers
- Material Handling Conveyors
- Agricultural Machinery
- Automotive Components (e.g., alternators, idler pulleys)
