6205-2Z/C3GWP

• 6205: Standard designation for a single row deep groove ball bearing with a 25mm bore and 52mm outside diameter.
• 2Z: Denotes the bearing is equipped with non-contact shields on both sides. These shields protect against contamination while minimizing friction, allowing for higher limiting speeds compared to sealed variants.
• C3: Indicates a greater radial internal clearance than the standard CN group. This is advantageous in applications where thermal expansion is a factor or where tight fits are used, preventing excessive preload and potential bearing failure.
• GWP: Specifies that the bearing is supplied as a greased and shielded unit. The "WP" suffix typically indicates a specific, high-quality lubricant is pre-applied, offering long-term protection and ready-to-install convenience.

The 6205-2Z/C3GWP's performance is derived from its precise engineering. The single row deep groove raceway is optimized for handling high radial loads, while also being capable of supporting moderate axial loads in both directions. The use of chrome steel for all load-bearing components (rings, balls, cage) ensures high strength and wear resistance. The C3 clearance is a critical feature that accommodates thermal expansion and press-fits, reducing the risk of seizure under operational stresses. The non-contact shields (2Z) effectively exclude contaminants like dust and debris without significantly increasing rotational torque, contributing to the high limiting speed of 13,000 rpm. Finally, the bearing is pre-lubricated, providing immediate and long-lasting protection, which simplifies installation and reduces maintenance requirements.

This versatile bearing is ideally suited for a wide array of industrial applications, including:

• Electric Motors and Generators
• Gearboxes and Transmission Systems
• Industrial Pumps and Compressors
• Material Handling Equipment (e.g., Conveyors)
• Agricultural Machinery
• Automotive Components (e.g., alternators, idler pulleys)
