6204-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/C3GWP is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This shielded bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Its key advantages include a compact design, high operational reliability, and the convenience of being pre-lubricated and shielded for protection against contamination. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it delivers consistent performance suitable for a wide range of industrial uses.
6204-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6204 | Basic bearing series; defines bearing dimensions (20mm bore, 47mm OD, 14mm width) | Standardized size for easy interchangeability and sourcing. |
| 2Z | Non-contact steel shields on both sides | Protects internal components from dust and debris while allowing high speeds. |
| C3 | Radial internal clearance greater than Normal (CN) | Accommodates thermal expansion in applications with high operating temperatures or heavy loads. |
| GWP | Pre-lubricated with a high-quality grease | Ensures immediate operation and long-term lubrication, reducing maintenance needs. |
6204-2Z/C3GWP Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway & Single Row Design: Optimized for high radial load capacity and smooth operation at the specified limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
- Double-Shielded (2Z) Construction: Provides effective sealing against contaminants, extending bearing life and reliability in harsh environments without significantly increasing friction.
- C3 Internal Clearance: This greater-than-normal clearance is critical for applications prone to thermal expansion, ensuring stable performance under varying thermal conditions and preventing seizure.
- All-Chrome Steel Construction: Rings, balls, and cage are made from chrome steel, providing high strength, durability, and resistance to wear.
- Pre-lubricated & Ready-to-Install: The factory-applied grease (GWP) minimizes initial setup time and provides reliable lubrication for the bearing's operational lifespan under standard conditions.
