6204-2Z/C3LHT23 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/C3LHT23 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. This metric bearing excels at handling primarily radial loads and offers a compact, versatile solution. Its key advantages include the integration of shields (2Z) for contaminant protection and a specified C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it provides reliable and consistent operation.
6204-2Z/C3LHT23 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 6204 | Basic Bearing Series & Size | Denotes a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 47mm OD, and 14mm width. |
| 2Z | Shielded on Both Sides | Provides effective protection against solid contaminants while allowing for higher limiting speeds compared to contact seals. |
| C3 | Greater than Normal Radial Internal Clearance | Accommodates thermal expansion in the shaft or housing, or compensates for tight interference fits, preventing premature failure. |
| LHT23 | High-Temperature Grease | Indicates the bearing is pre-lubricated with a grease suitable for the specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C. |
6204-2Z/C3LHT23 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Deep Groove Raceway & Single Row Design: The fundamental geometry of the deep groove ball bearing enables it to support significant radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, offering operational versatility.
Shielded Protection (2Z): The non-contact steel shields on both sides effectively retain the factory-applied LHT23 grease and exclude larger contaminants like dust and debris. This contributes to a long service life and reduces maintenance needs.
Optimized Internal Clearance (C3): The C3 clearance is a critical feature for applications involving elevated operating temperatures or where press-fits are utilized. It prevents excessive preloading of the bearing, which can lead to overheating and reduced limiting speed capability.
High-Quality Material & Construction: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing ensures high strength, durability, and consistent performance under the specified radial dynamic and static load ratings.
