6204-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/C3VT376 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Its key advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while offering operational stability. The bearing features integrated shields (2Z) for contaminant protection and is manufactured with a C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Constructed entirely from chrome steel, it delivers excellent durability and is designed for a broad temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
6204-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6204 | Basic bearing series, indicating a metric single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore. |
| 2Z | Signifies shielded on both sides. This provides effective protection against solid contaminants while allowing for higher limiting speeds compared to contact seals. |
| C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is essential for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy interference fits, or where operational heat is generated. |
| VT376 | This suffix is not a standard public designation. It typically refers to a specific manufacturer's internal code, often related to a special process, coating, or material grade that enhances performance, such as improved corrosion resistance or a specialized heat treatment. |
6204-2Z/C3VT376 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Single Row Design: The deep groove raceway and chrome steel construction provide high radial load capacity and reliable performance under continuous operation.
- Contaminant Protection: The non-contact steel shields (2Z) retain lubrication and exclude larger contaminants, contributing to a longer service life and reduced maintenance needs.
- Optimized for Thermal Conditions: The C3 clearance prevents pre-loading and potential seizure in applications where bearing temperature differentials or interference fits are a factor, ensuring consistent performance.
- Precision Manufacturing: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, this bearing offers consistent quality and dimensional accuracy for a wide range of industrial uses.
