6204/C3MT Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204/C3 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for robust performance in a wide range of industrial applications. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to efficiently handle radial loads while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards and featuring a C3 radial internal clearance, this bearing is engineered for reliable operation in applications where shaft expansion or increased operational temperatures are factors. Its open design allows for easy re-lubrication and is ideal for high-speed operation up to 15,000 rpm.
6204/C3MT Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 6204 | Standard bearing series with 20mm bore, 47mm OD, 14mm width. | Defines the core bearing dimensions for interchangeability. |
| C3 | Specifies a radial internal clearance greater than the Normal (CN) group. | Prevents binding in applications with thermal expansion, misalignment, or heavy interference fits, ensuring smooth operation. |
6204/C3MT Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Deep Groove Raceway & High-Quality Construction: The optimized raceway geometry and construction from chrome steel for rings, balls, and cage ensure low friction, high dynamic load rating (2878 lbf), and long service life under demanding conditions.
- Open Seal Type: The open (unsealed) design minimizes friction torque, enabling higher limiting speeds. It also facilitates custom lubrication schemes and easy maintenance.
- Robust Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant radial loads and moderate axial loads, making it a versatile choice for various load conditions.
- Precision & Reliability: Manufactured to ABEC 1 (ISO P0) tolerance class, this bearing provides consistent performance and is suitable for a broad temperature range from -30°C to 120°C.
