6204-2Z/C3WTF7 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/C3WTF7 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in demanding applications. Its core advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while its shielded design ensures long-term operational integrity. Manufactured with chrome steel rings and balls, this bearing offers excellent durability and is characterized by its C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. It represents a reliable, cost-effective solution for general industrial machinery requiring consistent performance.
6204-2Z/C3WTF7 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6204 | Basic bearing series, indicating a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 47mm OD, and 14mm width. |
| 2Z | Specifies shielded on both sides. These non-contact steel shields protect against large contaminants while minimizing friction, contributing to the bearing's limiting speed of 15,000 rpm. |
| C3 | Indicates a greater radial internal clearance than the Normal (C0) group. This is crucial for applications involving thermal expansion, heavy interference fits, or where a reduction in operating temperature is desired. |
| WTF7 | This suffix is not a standard FAG designation for this specific configuration. It is critical to consult FAG technical documentation for the precise meaning, as it may refer to a special process, coating, or material variant not covered by the standard specification. |
6204-2Z/C3WTF7 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Built entirely from chrome steel (rings, balls, and cage), this bearing delivers high strength and wear resistance. With a radial dynamic load rating of 2878 lbf and a static load rating of 1495 lbf, it is engineered to handle significant radial loads in continuous operation.
- Optimized for Speed & Temperature: The combination of deep groove geometry and non-contact shields (2Z) allows for a high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm. The specified temperature range of -30°C to 120°C ensures reliable performance across various operating environments.
- Precision & Versatility: Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class, it provides reliable running accuracy for a wide range of applications. The C3 clearance offers installation flexibility, accommodating shaft and housing fits that would cause standard clearance bearings to run hot.
- Maintenance Considerations: The bearing is supplied without lubrication. This allows the user to apply a lubricant best suited for the specific application, offering flexibility but requiring an initial lubrication step before commissioning.
