6204-2Z/C3WT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/C3WT is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for exceptional reliability in demanding applications. This metric bearing features integral shielded protection and is characterized by its optimized radial load capacity and C3 radial internal clearance. Its construction ensures smooth operation, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring robust performance and consistent operation under varying thermal conditions.
6204-2Z/C3WT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 6204: Basic designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore and 47mm outside diameter.
- 2Z: Indicates the bearing is fitted with shielded seals on both sides. This provides effective protection against contamination while minimizing friction.
- C3: Specifies a greater radial internal clearance than the standard CN group. This is advantageous for applications with significant thermal expansion or where interference fits are used.
- WT: This suffix is not explicitly defined in the provided data. It may refer to a specific manufacturer's designation or a special feature not covered by the standard specification. Please consult the manufacturer's full catalog for precise details.
6204-2Z/C3WT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings, balls, and cage, this bearing offers high strength and durability. It is rated for a dynamic load of 2878 lbf and a static load of 1495 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under significant radial loads.
- Optimized for Thermal Stability: The specified C3 clearance allows for dimensional changes due to thermal expansion during operation, preventing premature failure from excessive preload and ensuring stable performance across its operating temperature range.
- Shielded Protection: The 2Z shields effectively retain the factory-applied lubrication and exclude larger contaminants, contributing to a longer service life and reduced maintenance needs in clean to moderately contaminated environments.
- Precision & Speed: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it provides reliable precision for general industrial use. The bearing supports a limiting speed of 15,000 rpm, making it suitable for a wide range of high-speed applications.
