6204-2ZN/C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204-2ZN/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for high-performance industrial applications. This precision bearing features shielded protection on both sides and is characterized by its optimized C3 radial internal clearance, making it exceptionally suitable for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Its design excels in handling radial loads efficiently while accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. With a snap ring groove on the outer ring for secure axial positioning, this bearing offers reliable operation, simplified assembly, and robust performance in demanding environments.
6204-2ZN/C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 6204 | Standard deep groove ball bearing series with 20mm bore, 47mm OD, 14mm width |
| 2Z | Double shielded construction providing effective protection against contamination |
| N | Snap ring groove on outer ring for secure axial positioning and simplified mounting |
| C3 | Greater radial internal clearance than normal, suitable for applications with thermal expansion or interference fits |
6204-2ZN/C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Enhanced Contamination Protection: The double shielded design (2Z) effectively prevents the ingress of contaminants while retaining lubrication, extending bearing service life in challenging environments.
Optimized Internal Clearance: The C3 radial clearance provides greater internal space than standard bearings, making it ideal for applications subject to thermal expansion, heavy loads, or where interference fits cause reduction in clearance.
Secure Mounting Solution: The snap ring groove on the outer ring enables simple and reliable axial positioning without additional components, reducing assembly time and improving system reliability.
High-Quality Material Construction: Manufactured from chrome steel for both rings and balls, ensuring excellent durability, wear resistance, and consistent performance under radial dynamic loads up to 2878 lbf.
Precision Engineering: Built to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, delivering reliable rotational accuracy and smooth operation across the temperature range of -30°C to 120°C.
