6204/C5 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204/C5 is a single row deep groove ball bearing designed for high-performance industrial applications. As a metric bearing with open construction, it excels in handling radial loads with exceptional efficiency. Its key advantages include a generous C5 radial internal clearance, making it ideal for applications with thermal expansion or where interference fits are used. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it provides reliable precision and consistent performance in demanding environments.
6204/C5 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 |
| /C5 | Indicates greater than normal radial internal clearance for thermal expansion compensation |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for higher speeds and easy relubrication |
6204/C5 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
Deep Groove Geometry: The continuous raceway grooves enable smooth operation and efficient radial load distribution, while also accommodating moderate axial loads in both directions.
C5 Radial Clearance: The generous internal clearance accommodates shaft and housing fits, thermal expansion, and prevents seizure in high-temperature applications.
High-Quality Material Construction: All components are manufactured from chrome steel, providing excellent hardness, wear resistance, and durability under dynamic load conditions.
Optimized Cage Design: The steel cage ensures proper ball spacing and guidance, contributing to stable operation at the limiting speed of 15,000 rpm.
