6202/C4 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6202/C4 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in general industrial applications. This metric bearing features an open design and is manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, ensuring consistent quality and interchangeability. Its key advantage lies in its optimized radial internal clearance (C4), which makes it particularly suitable for applications with thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits are used, preventing premature failure due to excessive preload. Constructed entirely from chrome steel, it offers excellent durability and a high limiting speed.
6202/C4 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6202 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 15mm bore, 35mm OD, and 11mm width. |
| /C4 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is critical for applications involving thermal gradients, heavy loads, or shaft misalignment. |
6202/C4 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Internal Clearance: The C4 clearance is the defining feature. It accommodates dimensional changes from heat generation or interference fits, reducing friction and heat buildup, which extends bearing service life under demanding conditions.
- Robust Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single-row design provide excellent radial load handling, with a dynamic rating of 1812 lbf and a static rating of 843 lbf. It can also accommodate moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The precision-ground chrome steel components and balanced design enable a high limiting speed of 20,000 rpm, making it suitable for a wide range of rotational applications.
- Versatile & Durable Construction: The open seal type allows for easy re-lubrication and is ideal for clean environments. The all-chrome steel construction, including the cage, ensures high strength and resistance to wear.
6202/C4 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors and Small Gearboxes
- Industrial Fans and Blowers
- Power Tools and Agricultural Machinery
- Material Handling Equipment (e.g., conveyor rollers)
- General machinery requiring a reliable, standard-size ball bearing with compensation for thermal expansion.
