6204/VK016 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 6204 single row deep groove ball bearing is a fundamental precision bearing designed for high reliability in a wide range of industrial applications. Engineered to primarily accommodate radial loads, it features an open design that facilitates high-speed operation. Manufactured to ABEC 1 | ISO P0 tolerance standards, it offers excellent performance consistency and is constructed entirely from durable chrome steel for long service life.
6204/VK016 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 62 | Series code indicating a medium-duty, single row deep groove ball bearing. |
| 04 | Bore diameter code, corresponding to a 20 mm bore. |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for higher limiting speeds and easy re-lubrication. |
6204/VK016 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Optimized Load Capacity: The deep groove raceway and single row construction are engineered to efficiently handle significant radial dynamic loads (2878 lbf) and moderate axial loads in both directions.
- High-Speed Capability: The open design, combined with a precision-formed chrome steel cage, minimizes friction and allows for a high limiting speed of 15,000 rpm, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Precision & Rigidity: Manufactured to ABEC 1 tolerances with a standard CN radial internal clearance, this bearing ensures smooth, quiet, and precise operation, contributing to overall system stability.
- Versatile Application Range: With a temperature range of -30°C to 120°C and no pre-applied lubrication, it offers flexibility for various operating environments and allows for the use of specialized lubricants.
