6204-2Z/VA208 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2Z/VA208 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Its core advantage lies in its shielded design (2Z) and solid lubricant (VA208), which enable maintenance-free operation across an extensive temperature range from -30°C to 350°C. This combination provides excellent protection against contamination and ensures consistent performance under radial loads, making it an ideal, long-lasting solution for applications where re-lubrication is difficult or impossible.
Model Code Breakdown
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6204 | Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 20mm bore, 47mm OD, and 14mm width. |
| 2Z | Bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. This provides effective protection against solid contaminants while maintaining a low torque signature. |
| VA208 | Indicates the bearing is filled with a solid lubricant. This is critical for the specified wide temperature range and enables maintenance-free operation in environments unsuitable for oil or grease. |
6204-2Z/VA208 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Robust Construction & High Load Capacity: Manufactured entirely from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage, this bearing offers high strength and durability. It supports a dynamic load rating of 2878 lbf and a static load rating of 1495 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under significant radial stresses.
- Maintenance-Free & Extreme Environment Suitability: The combination of Z-shields and solid lubricant creates a sealed, self-lubricating system. This eliminates the need for re-lubrication and allows operation in high-temperature, vacuum, or clean environments where conventional lubricants would fail.
- Precision & Stability: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance class with standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing provides consistent running accuracy and smooth operation, contributing to overall system stability.
