6204-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for reliable performance in demanding applications. Its sealed construction provides robust protection against contaminants, making it ideal for environments where cleanliness and long-term reliability are critical. This bearing is engineered to primarily handle radial loads with high efficiency. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers consistent quality and performance, suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment requiring dependable rotational motion.
6204-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Suffix Code | Technical Meaning | Significance & Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| -2RSL | Contact Seals on both sides | Provides superior sealing effectiveness compared to non-contact shields, offering excellent protection against dust, moisture, and other contaminants. This contributes to extended bearing service life and reduced maintenance. |
| TN9 | Nylon Cage, Injection Molded | The lightweight and robust nylon cage ensures smooth operation, reduces friction, and is suitable for high-speed applications. It offers good resistance to wear and is compatible with a wide range of lubricants. |
| /C3 | Greater than Normal Radial Internal Clearance | This clearance is beneficial for applications where thermal expansion is a concern, such as in electric motors, or where fits result in a reduction of internal clearance. It helps prevent seizure under operational heat. |
| VT162 | Lubrication Designation (Specific Grease) | Indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with a specific high-quality grease. This grease is selected to perform within the specified temperature range (-30° to 120 °C), providing long-term lubrication and contributing to the maintenance-free characteristic of the sealed unit. |
6204-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
The single row deep groove geometry of the raceways is optimized for handling radial loads efficiently. The combination of chrome steel for both rings and balls ensures high durability and resistance to fatigue. The nylon (TN9) cage is a key feature that contributes to the bearing's performance; its lightweight nature reduces centrifugal forces, allowing for smoother operation at the specified limiting speed and lower operating temperatures. The contact seals (2RSL) are integrally molded, providing an effective barrier that retains the factory-fill VT162 grease and excludes harmful particles. This sealed and pre-lubricated design makes the unit essentially maintenance-free for its entire service life under normal operating conditions, reducing total cost of ownership.
6204-2RSLTN9/C3VT162 Bearing Typical Application Areas
- Electric Motors: A primary application, benefiting from the C3 clearance and sealed, pre-lubricated design for long, reliable operation.
- Industrial Gearboxes and Transmissions: Used in various stages to support shafts and handle radial loads.
- Material Handling Equipment: Conveyor rollers, pulleys, and fans where contamination protection is vital.
- Agricultural Machinery: Pumps, blowers, and auxiliary drives operating in harsh, dusty environments.
- General Industrial Machinery: A versatile choice for pumps, compressors, and small industrial appliances requiring a robust, sealed ball bearing.
